When I was a police officer rookie, I learned to wave to people all the time, whether I knew them or not. As often as not, I'd get a friendly wave back.

I carried that into my stint at other places, as much as was practical. When someone doesn't wave back in a community/street situation, it tells you a lot about them instantly--sometimes.

However, I've never been shot at while waving.
