    So... if an object protruding beyond 4' from the back of my vehicle... requires a FLAG to mark it... Do I need to put a FLAG ON MY FLAG?

      Most likely both, you get pulled over(fix it) for either so I would say both.

      China has more. They also have deliberately conflicting laws so they can arrest any subject they want "legally".

    Okay but can I enter in a NON political question? I'm in Ohio but I have a flag pole on the hitch of my jeep. Flag is approx 3high×5long. Is it legal? Can I at least keep my pole on my jeep without the flag? I can't imaging just the pole should be any bother. Just a flag,nothing like the American flag or a trump or biden flag. It's just decoration for my vehicle. I mean there's a car around here covered in trolls,zombie apocalypse vehicles..etc. I can't imagine a simple pole would be a bother.

    Only American Flags. If LED lights are legal why the F not.

    4 U.S. Code § 8 (e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way. Driving down the road at 50 mph or more with a flag on your pickup truck shreds the flag.. It is not a proper way to display the flag

      and that's one of the reasons why our country is falling apart. there are certain traditions that should be followed for good etiquette. ive also read the flag code and it says that if it flown on a vehicle it must be attached to the front right bumper. 🤔

    For all you fake patriots out there. Here is the FEDERAL CODE concerning flags on vehicles.
    §7. Position and manner of display
    The flag, when carried in a procession with another flag or flags, should be either on the marching right; that is, the flag's own right, or, if there is a line of other flags, in front of the center of that line.
    (a) The flag should not be displayed on a float in a parade except from a staff, or as provided in subsection (i) of this section.
    (b) The flag should not be draped over the hood, top, sides, or back of a vehicle or of a railroad train or a boat. When the flag is displayed on a motorcar, the staff shall be fixed firmly to the chassis or clamped to the right fender.
