→Defacement and misuse of the flag: I think I like this phrasing better
Section 3 is describes how the US flag should not be handled, misused, or defaced.
Section 3 is describes how the US flag should not be handled, misused, or defaced.
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." This law is little enforced, however, and there is much controversy concerning [[Flag desecration in the United States of America|misuse and abuse of the US flag]].
