Nine
Amish men who refused to display an orange reflective triangle on their
horse-drawn buggies have been ordered to jail for not paying
court-imposed fines. The men belong to the ultraconservative Old Order
Swartzentruber Amish sect in western Kentucky. They object to the
triangles because the bright color violates their modesty code. The men
say paying the fines would amount to complying with a law they believe
violates their religious strictures. A judge sentenced the men to three
to 10 days in jail.
