I trust that the Sheriff knows the law, especially when he admits that the actions of his officers had no basis in the law.
The Sheriff in this case should do a little research.
Wisconsin Statute 947.07
The sheriff acted within the law and did not even know it.
That bill only refers to "damaging, destroying, or mutilating" the flag. Hanging it upside down does not fall under any of those categories.
from the Bill said:If a person who suffers physical injury to his or her person or 3 emotional distress or damage to or loss of his or her property by reason of conduct 4 which that is prohibited under s. 943.012
Hey, if you can define hanging the flag upside down as speech, then I can define it as mutilation.
