Belgians get fine for showing flag

antwerp - The Belgian police will fine football supporters for showing their patriotism. Flags sticking out of a car will not be tolerated, and even a flag on the façade can become an expensive joke.

The police warns on Facebook that Belgians should, for example, be careful with tricolore mirror covers. 'If they hide the direction indicators, or reduce visibility in the mirrors, they can lead to a fine of 58 euros. '

Not only the mirror covers are in the corner. The police 'sends' about practically any kind of flag display to the car. 'Flags with masts sticking out of cars or masking license plates will not be tolerated. '

Meanwhile, a tax expert, Michel Maus, warns for flags with the logo of a beer brand on facades of houses. In Flanders, there is a 'tax on billboards or billboards'. Flags with a beer brand fall under it.
