If the courts will behave the exact same way if the accused were muslims, jews or part of some other 'diverse' ethnic community, I will agree with this.
I dont get why of all people they decided to pass this sort of judgement on a group of people who mind their own business, do not harm other communities and have been maintaining this way of life for generations.

It's tricky. When smoking bans were expanded to include legions, a lot of veterans complained that they didn't fight in WWII to be told they couldn't smoke at their legion. That was twisting the rhetoric.

They fought to preserve a democratic system where the voting public elects representatives that enact legislation for the better of the people in general. Sometimes what you fight for bites you in the butt.

The Amish are great people and the ones in Ohio live in great touring country. However, laws are not like a buffet where one picks and chooses what suits them. It's unfortunate the app was a POS, adding to the fray.

There is nothing in our constitution that says everyone must have a smart phone and even non-Amish people don't have them. It wouldn't take a genius to advise travelers that such apps can be filed through a third party. If that isn't part of the law, change the law. Lawyers, notaries, civic officials, JPs etc could do it for a fee.

Here's the thing though... You either have innocent until PROVEN guilty for EVERYONE or no one.
'Seen MANY cases of guys getting suspended (with pay) and in the end it's determined they did nothing wrong.
Add to that the occasional malicious persecution/suspensions launched by shady and corrupt "leadership"
Y'think its right those guys have their pay cut off on the basis of an accusation..?

Recently had a fellow exonorated after a two year suspension over what turned out to be a made up /BS complaint over something that never happened.

That is by far the exception tho.
A good working comprise would be the police union covers the accused salary while charges are pending and if exonerated the taxpayers foot the bill.
If they are found guilty let the blue work it out amongst themselves.
That will never happen because the union would go broke in little time and they know it.

Add to that, the person fabricating the incident gets sued for the damages.
