Oklahoma is NOT okay!
Any person in this state, who shall carry or cause to be carried, or publicly display any red flag or other emblem or banner, indicating disloyalty to the Government of the United States or a belief in anarchy or other political doctrines or beliefs, whose objects are either the disruption or destruction of organized government, or the defiance of the laws of the United States or of the State of Oklahoma, shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and upon conviction shall be punished by imprisonment in the Penitentiary of the State of Oklahoma for a term not exceeding ten (10) years, or by a fine not exceeding One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) or by both such imprisonment and fine.
That's fucked up! Has anyone been prosecuted for this? Was this law a delayed reaction to the OKC bombing since it was made into law around 98-99? The only bright side is that they've made civil disobedience really simple to accomplish.
The law was passed in 1919, and later amended in 1997.
Alright I only saw the later dates mentioned but going back 1919 also makes sense with the sedition laws coming into play during the US's involvement in the first world war so I would imagine that state and local governments would create similar laws for after the war. Do you have more history on the law?
I came to the story from a person on twitter, who is on the conspirator list ( http://twitter.com/freedombookclub/conspirators ).
You will have to ask this person if he has more information: http://twitter.com/EmergentOrder
