If I was to take a stack of firewood and set it on fire on the sidewalk in downtown Phoenix, I'm pretty sure I'd go to jail. But I can set fire to a flag and it's no big deal?
If you burned a flag on public property, you might be arrested for something like reckless endangerment because setting fires in public places can be dangerous. But being arrested for reckless endangerment and being arrested for desecration of the flag are two different things.
