Yeah. Flag Code complaints get misused almost as much as HIPAA. Flag Code is not a law, it's a set of recommendations on how to respectfully handle the flag. It's really only enforced for military personnel, but it is recommended that civilians adhere to it.

Yes, burning a flag is proper disposal, but it should be done privately so not to be seen as a protest. If anyone really cares, Fire departments in the US will do proper flag disposal for free.

This is probably one of the most disrespectful things you can do to a flag though...
