Should it be illegal to burn our national flag?

Should it be illegal to burn the Danish flag?

Flag desecration is any act that is carried out with the intention of damaging or destroying a national flag in public. This is commonly done in an effort to make a political statement against a nation or its policies. Some nations have acts that ban flag desecration while others have laws that protect the right to destroy a flag as a part of free speech. Some of these laws distinguish between a national flag and those of other countries.

While it is an important symbol of the country, it is not THE official symbol, like one of a lifetime this is ride or die. It can also have cultural significance or personal significance in a way, depending on spiritual context.

I don’t think it should be illegal in a sense you go to jail for it, but since it’s really disrespectful maybe you can get a fine for it
