Umble emphasized that most Amish groups comply with ordinances. “In many Amish communities it is not an issue to have orange triangles, and in many communities they are not fighting local legislative safety issues. Many places, they are cooperating. But there are certain ultraconservative groups that feel they cannot accept any of that kind of government influence on their day-to-day lives. But these cases are not representative of all Amish and come up with the most conservative groups,” she said.
Much of it seems to be Ultraconservative Amish unwilling to install standard safety equipment, such as hard hats for construction zones and smoke alarms. I agree with them having to follow the same regulations as everyone else.
