[QUOTE="cmhbob, post: 1895500, member: 20220"] It really bothers me when a homeowner or business owner leaves a tattered flag up. I've been known to call the business and offer to pick up the old flag for disposal by our Scout Troop. That said, it would never occur to me to call the cops over it. That part just boggles the mind. The quote at the end is more than a little ironic: Apparently this guy doesn't respect private property rights. As far as OK Statutes, I found [URL="http://atheism.about.com/gi/o.htm?zi=1/XJ&zTi=1&sdn=atheism&cdn=religion&tm=77&f=10&tt=2&bt=0&bts=0&zu=http%3A//www.oscn.net/applications/oscn/DeliverDocument.asp%3FCiteID%3D69129"]this at About.com[/URL]: Hmm. Skimming [I][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Eichman"]United States vs. Eichman[/URL][/I] and [I][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_v._Johnson"]Texas vs. Johnson[/URL][/I], I'm going to go out on a limb and say the state law in unconstitutional. I wonder if Henryetta cops arrested anyone? And who would you charge? The business owner? The manager? The last person to raise the flag, who might not even work there any more? Correction. The link from About.com does not have the current text. Here it is. Much of it seems like it would not pass constitutional muster. Reading Section 375, you could fly the flag of France over "Tax-supported property," but not the flag of Germany or Canada. Interesting. Interesting topic. [/QUOTE]
