Once there, Ashland Municipal Court Judge John Good ruled out the possibility of jail time for them and instead said he would impose liens on their real estate.

why flashing lights and not reflectors?
I believe they were already required to use reflectors. Back in the 80's when I was sometimes in Ohio with my parents we used to pass Amish buggies sometimes, and they always had an orange triangle retroreflector thing on the back.
I’ve seen the Amish in Ohio in more recent years and I’m pretty sure I always saw one of those triangle retroreflectors on the back of the buggy.
