refusing to follow instructions of an official is not called "disturbing the peace" or anything. As I said, if he were shouting/fighting or something it would have been a different story. But that was not the case.
Besides, the official wasn't even in his right to instruct my dad to leave, as even you acknowledge he didn't cause any trouble before that.

So under the big set of laws you list can you detail the specific ones for which your father can be prosecuted?
Have a clue, the common term is trespass.
It means being somewhere you are not allowed to be ....like remaining in a council meeting after you have been told to behave or leave.

aaargh! please don't make me sum up every single article of the Dutch law! I've got other things to do than copy-translate-pasting it all onto subsim!
But if you insist -

"a 'prohibited place' is any place that's indicated as prohibited under the Law for Protection of State Secrets"
I admit I don't know how many state secrets are in the public area of our local town hall, but I don't think it are many.

Disturbing the peace....that means the annoyance of others when you are not allowed to

I fully agree on that one.
But:
1) I fail to see how anyone can possibly be annoyed by seeing a flag
2) As I have said (and repeated until the end of ages it seems
to me) it is completely legal to display any flags/banners and stuff. So even if anyone somehow felt annoyed by the flag, my dad was allowed to display it.
