So what do you do when you catch somebody flying the flag after dark without s spotlight, or leaving it flying in a thunderstorm? Burn their house down?

That's hyperbole and unrelated to this entire thread. It's over-the-top rhetoric like that that makes me shake my head in dismay. Whoever suggested that? Whoever did that?

Those restrictions are part of the same "flag code" that states that no flag should fy above the US flag. At least as I learned it in scouts -- I've heard that they dropped the rule about leaving the flag flying in the rain, because most modern flags are made of artificial fibers that don't mildew.
