The Flag Protection Act was an act of 1968 that states you cannot mistreat or cause harm to a flag just to be doing it. If you are to harm a flag in the United States you shall be fined, or be sent to prison no more than one year, but this is protected by the first amendment. This is not something you would of wanted to play with; it was a very serious matter. Yet it's not illegal to burn a flag, unless it is stolen or done in an unruly manner. It is actually one of the most proper ways to get rid of a torn or worn out flag.
I feel people should still be sent to prison or be fined for that kind of behavior. If someone has enough hatred to just mistreat a flag for no reason at all they should be punished. It’s not right to destruct anything
