How to respond to a request to remove your flag

Daily Express, 24 May 2008, POLICE TOLD MAN TO HIDE 'RACIST' ST GEORGE FLAG
A football fan says police ordered him to remove an England flag from his car – because it could be deemed racist.
Ben Smith, 18, was pulled over for a routine spot check by an officer who inspected his tyres and road tax.
But the labourer was stunned to be told that a St George flag covering his Vauxhall Corsa’s parcel shelf was offensive to immigrants.
He initially thought the officer was joking until he was threatened with a £30 fine if he refused to remove it from view.
But the right, the correct, the safe thing to do is always to obey the officer. Then when you are far away from him, go to court and sue him for being an idiot. It won't do you any good to argue with a police officer on scene. Just note his badge number and make notes.
In the flag incident, the motorist was given a choice, to remove the flag or pay a fine. He should have paid the fine. There are British soldiers who have died to protect his right to display the flag of his country; the least he should have done was pay the fine and contest it in court. This type of behavior by police needs to be broadcast and denounced throughout the land.
What is not mentioned is exactly which group of immigrants could possibly be insulted by a cross on a white field - Jews? Buddhists? Or could they be a particular group of immigrants that are offended by everything in the Western World?
What's really sad about all this is that this police office, so worried about an insult to Muslims is too frightened to enter a Muslim area anyway even in his own country.
For those of you who are new readers to my blog, please be aware that I am not anti-immigrant, in fact I could not care less if all 100 million Mexicans come here, provided they are properly documented. I am an immigrant myself. But immigrants must become American, learn our language, accept our culture, and respect our institutions and flag. If they cannot, they should return with all haste to that wonderful paradise they came from, where everything is so much better.
