1. You are a police officer who receives a telephone complaint from a citizen who is irritated by the loud flapping of his neighbour's Confederate flag. The large flag is mounted prominently above the neighbour's front door. The complainant also believes that the flag is a racist symbol because of its connection to the historical practice of black slavery in the American South. As a black Canadian, the complainant feels that as well as being a source of noise pollution, flying this flag in a suburban Ontario neighbourhood is a form of racial harassment.

Identify legislation in your jurisdiction(research local or municipal bylaws) that deals with the issues (noise, flag-flying, racist symbols) raised by this complaint. Write applicable sections that you have found and source the information. (2)

What are the relevant sections of the legislation you identified that address the legal questions in this scenario? Be sure to state why they are relevant(2)

Based on your review of the legislation, is the flag-flying neighbour guilty of any offence? If so, which ones and why? (2)
