Uhhh, thats why I posted the link above. http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/flagetiq.html Here is what it says about penalties for disregarding the flag code. I believe that any specific questions about display of the flag and the flag code can be found in this link.

Are there penalties for violating the Flag Code?

No. The Flag Code serves as a guide to be followed on a purely voluntary basis to insure proper respect for the flag. The Supreme Court has ruled that politically motivated violations of the Flag Code are protected by the First Amendment.

The Flag Code has no provision for enforcement. No fines, no penalties. There is nothing law enforcement can do when the Flag Code is broken.

This website has the most complete and the clearest presentation of flag etiquitte that I have found. The reversed flag question is answered here and many many others.
