I'm not trying to troll here. I actually hope I'm very wrong.
How is this allowed? It's on a local PD cruiser. I understand it's a sign of respect and has very good intentions behind it, I'm just curious how it's permitted. If someone can quote the section that permits this, I'd appreciate it. 
§176. Respect for flag (g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature. |

It's the new flag etiquette: no one seems to care any more about showing respect for The Flag of The United States of America.
Cases in point: athletes running around with flags draped across their bodies and clothing with a flag or flags in them. So I guess you just have to go with if it's not an actual meant-to-be-flown-on-a-flagpole flag, it's a representation of a flag. |

I think when thy say "The Flag" they mean an actual flag that flies or has flown You dont cut pieces from it and attach it to anything or attach anything to a flag You dont make clothes out of an actual flag You dont do anything with an actual flag except fly it, store it and burn it when tattered |
