Well, gee, half my neighbor are criminals!
This one sounds easily enforceable. 
Once again, millions of people are now criminals.
Okay...
Oh, shit. Sorry, butterfinger boy scouts, off to jail with you!
But, they're so comfortable!
I think you guys get the drift. Flag laws are unenforced, ridiculous, and a terrible reason to cite for this guy's behavior. I'm fine if he just said "I don't like that, I'm going to take it down", but to refer to the illegality of it is just bizarre. |
My personal favorite is...
Federal Flag Code, Section 4(g): "The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature."
And then there's this image...
Federal Flag Code, Section 8(c): "The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way."
