While the bulk of the code is purely descriptive, violating section 3 within the [[District of Columbia]] carries a penalty of "a fine not exceeding $100 or by imprisonment for not more than thirty days, or both, in the discretion of the court." There is much controversy concerning [[Flag desecration in the United States of America|misuse and abuse of the US flag]], and violation of this law is seldom prosecuted.
