3. "Amish men jailed for refusing to pay buggy fines"
Kentucky law requires that horse-drawn buggies be marked with orange reflective triangles, and fines must be paid in order to get these reflectors. A group of Amish men has recently been arrested for refusing to pay because they claim the orange signs are "flashy" and "conflict with their pledge to live low-key and religious lives". The men don't care about their jail time and continue to refuse to pay, despite the reflectors being for their own safety, especially at night.
