Just a little heads up for anyone visiting Amsterdam, don't insult the Swiss.
What?
”
You can actually face prison time for mocking the Swiss flag. If you use the flag in such a way that it hurts the Swiss national pride, you can get a month in jail or a fine of €4,350.”
You can burn any other flag or symbol or holy books but don’t mess with the Swiss flag in the Netherlands. Up to 1 month jail or category 2 fine if you use the Swiss flag in any way that “hurts the Swiss national feelings”.
However, if you do and end up in jail:
”
It’s not illegal to escape prison. As long as no crimes were committed in the process, the judiciary system cannot give the escapee extra time.”
The reasoning is that we totally understand it sucks to be locked up and won’t hold it against you if you try or succeed to escape - it's only natural. It’s practically impossible to escape but still it’s considered unreasonable to punish you for trying.
