By flying the flag upside down you are inviting search and rescue folks to enter your property and search for the source of distress. You are saying that you are PERSONALLY under distress and fear for your life and are asking for direct help.
It is the equivalent of dialing 911 and asking for EMS to respond.
Section 8a of the United States Flag Code states, "The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property."
Where am I missing the part about the invitation. And make note, life or property. Now we all are at risk of losing our property if we don't succumb to the land taxes the fund our public school system. I would say my farms are in dire distress.
Please show me the law or code that supports your opinion.
(And what does 9 1 1 have to do with this Julie-annie? Just poking fun......)
Useless conjecture does not make a worthwhile argument. So long...
Patriots do not fly their flag upside down. If you want to make a statement, fly the original 13-star flag like I do everyday next to my Ron Paul signs.
Then when would you say we are in distress....maybe when the foreign troops come to take you away. I suppose you like the fringed flag in your local court room at the courthouse? Isn't it pretty?
Had mine upside down for a week and no one commented. But, I live in the country. I have a Ron Paul flag coming and plan to hang it above, the upside down US flag. I am trying to piss folks off so they will come onto my property and I can try and educate them. Most Americans are gutless and afraid. I am proud of you cspanjunkie!
A person can burn the flag to protest only if your black I guess. But, that was probably done in another State. Even so, I believe that law applies to all States.
Quote: “We have a citizen that complains to us about a violation of law, we’re bound by oath to act on it.”
What about illegal aliens? They still ignore them? And, their allowed to fly the flag up-side-down!
How about contacting the local news? Let everyone know exactly why you are doing that.

Ron Paul rEVOLution. We realize our country has corruption never before seen in any civilization. The magnitude of which is almost unimaginable.
I think patriots do their best to assess a situation and tryo to make good decisions. You came to a different decision, I see, but that does not give you the authority to judge the heart of the poster.
That takes balls.
How do you walk?
Invitation

You are declaring.
An instance of extreme danger to life and property...
This is the invitation for Police, Fire Department, DoHS, the Boy Scouts, whoever to come and rescue you...
You INVITED them when you declared the EMERGENCY..
Same and you INVITE them when you call 911 and ask for help, or just hang up.
The purpose of that was, before 911 service, to let everyone know that there was a problem on your property and you are asking for help.
Obviously this is an opinion.
Please show me the law or code that supports your opinion.

Oh yes we do.

I guess it's time to test my Constitutional rights in my town.
Just like the windmills in Amsterdam, they pointed a specific direction indicating they were in distress.
I'm ready to challenge the law. I will, as you noted, put up a sign explaining my act.
Go for it.
