Description of the flag

The flag of the city of Raleigh, North Carolina, is similar to thatof Peru, but with the city arms in the white part.

Flag law

The City of Raleigh, North Carolina, passed a law a few years ago prohibiting the flying of any flags other than those of the U.S., North Carolina, and the city. Apparently this was done to prevent one neo-Nazi from flying a Nazi flag at his house. Some religious groups and businesses objected because it also prevented them from flying their church or business-logo flags, and I believe that an adjustment was made, at least for the religious groups.
