Flag Laws in New York

Well in celebration of the world cup i have a portugal flag displayed on my front porch. is there any law in new york that says i have to alsoo display an american flag also. and if i do does it have to be higher lower or what.

ive searched google to no avail.


karma given for good responses

Err, well I've seen tons of Puerto Rican flags with no American ones, and I don't see people being rounded up for that.

I think you only risk certain people being pissed off.

that would be an insane law, now wouldnt it?

well someone told me that there would be a problem if a cop would pass by just checking

There has to be an American flag within ten feet of proximity, and it must be at least 1.5 times as big as the foreign flag you're putting up. Also, you're required to douse the foreign flag in starch so that the American one ruffles in the wind more effectively.

This isn't an actual law, but if you don't do it you're basically telling the government that you're a terrorist, and you're pretty likely to be sent to Guantanamo Bay.

well to go through so much work ill risk it

to starch a flag and what not fuck that

I don't know if it is true or not but supposedly Texas is the only state that can fly there flag at equal height to the national flag. It is probaly just a tale they told us when we where kids but IDK.

Me too, because let me assure you that you don't want to risk this, no matter how much work it is.

Fuck that, do what you want. Flags are just fabric...

I don't think it would be a problem. I see Mexican flags displayed all the time by illegal immigrants here. Nothing's done about that shrug

Someone is fucking with you. That can't be a real law. It would be unconstitutional.

They are lobbying for a flag burning amendment...

shock i want a flag of "kyle" raised at equal staff as the american flag.

Eye roll of the week. roll

For some reason my Bin Laden flag gets me all sorts of stares. shrug

Anyway, you'd be fling the wrong flag out of your window. You're supposed to be flying the French flag remember, since they're gonna piss all over Brasil and then you guys in the semi's. wink

It is bad that I had absolutely no problem deciphering that l33t speak?

As for the flag thing, I wouldn't worry about it. Even if there are laws against flying the flag without the American flag present I highly doubt any cop is going to care enough to do something about it. They have better things to worry about.
