Well that is a different story. In your original post, you gave me the impression your father was arrested simply for raising the flag. Now it appears that your father was arrested for disturbing the peace, which I assume is more than just waiving a piece of cloth.

Did your father resist the officers, or did he make a disturbance other than raising the flag?

I have a feeling there is more to this story than you originally posted.

It will be interesting to see what the judge has to say about this case.
