The fact that people get arrested for desicration, regardless of whether they are charged.

I think that any officer who does this while being aware of the unconstitutionality of the law is guilty of wrongful imprisonment or some similar crime. 

To the extent that police who are ignorant of the law's blatant unconstitutionality arrest flag-burners, that's no different from if a black man and white woman were arrested for being married, because the police officer forgot it wasn't the 1950s.

It's not a law that a black man can't marry a white woman.

Essentially it's like saying the neighbor who is burning crosses shouting the N bomb with a white hood is perfectly acceptable. It's in his constitutional rights.

It may be his legal right of expression, but hardly acceptable.
