Her Right Honorable Self Crook - yes - that is her last name.

“District Judge Deborah Hawkins Crooks ordered the Western Kentucky men be jailed for three to 10 days, The (Louisville) Courier Journal reported.

The men, who belong to a particularly strict Amish sect in Graves County, said paying the fines violated their religious beliefs against wearing bright colors or trusting in man-made symbols for their safety.”

Some funny haired Dude once said (paraphrased of course):

“He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither.”
