An individual on private property can hang a flag upside down and lit on fire, and below the Iranian flag and still no 'law' is violated. Of course, I would never do that because I respect the flag and what it represents. Nonetheless, in spite of media reports to the contrary, no law was broken by the bar owner.

no where in reading the Title 4 do I see the words these are only "advisory rules" - however I will grant that no penalty is established.
