What is contempt of the flag?\u00a0<\/span>Is the national\u00a0<\/span>anthem\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0also affected?\u00a0What are the sanctions ?<\/span><\/p>\n

An attack on FRENCH SYMBOLS<\/span><\/h2>\n

Contempt for the flag<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is an attack on the symbols of the French Republic.\u00a0There are two types of offences.<\/span>
First: the offense of contempt.\u00a0It is characterized by an attack committed during a demonstration regulated by a public authority vis-\u00e0-vis symbols such as the anthem.\u00a0It can also be a\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>degradation\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0of the flag.<\/span>
Since 2010, there is also the ticket for contempt of the tricolor which only concerns the violation of the flag in a public place.\u00a0We can also be sanctioned if we degrade the flag in a private place if there is dissemination of images proving this outrage.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the sanctions ?<\/span><\/h2>\n

It is the prosecutor who prosecutes the author.\u00a0It is based on police reports or on the testimony of third parties who can prove it.\u00a0No one can bring a civil action to obtain compensation for the damage.\u00a0This is to protect the general interest.\u00a0For the offense of contempt, we risk a fine of 7500 euros.\u00a0If the acts are committed in a group, there is also a risk of imprisonment for a maximum of 6 months.\u00a0Regarding the contravention, the penalty is a fine of 1500 to 3000 euros whether the facts are committed in public or in a private place with the dissemination of images.<\/span><\/p>\n

NB<\/span><\/h2>\n

A tricolor flag, a national symbol, is set on fire at the gates of a police station in Nice.\u00a0This indignation is reminiscent of a photo taken as part of a competition organized by a trader.\u00a0It showed a man wiping his back with a French flag.<\/span>
If the principle of “freedom of expression” can be invoked, and this licentious photo came to compete in the “Politically incorrect” category, some saw in it only an inadmissible, intolerable act, an obscene outrage, and seized in this capacity of the Council of State.<\/span>
The question then is whether the “works of the mind” can be affected by disregard for the flag…<\/span>
The Council of State canceled the decree instituting a fine, and indicates that the regulatory power must “reconcile the guarantee of this freedom with the requirements of PUBLIC ORDER”, when it decides “to enact limits on the freedom of expression\u201d.<\/span><\/span>
