Default Amish man willing to install electricity In his home

... for electronic motoring purposes

"The jailed Amish bishop accused of spearheading a beard- and
hair-cutting campaign against religious foes today told a federal
judge that he is willing to install electricity in his home to
accommodate an electronic monitoring device if granted bond before
trial."

[...]

"While the Amish do not believe that “electricity is per se evil,”
according to Mullet’s motion, they stay off the public grid because
they believe “electricity allows for the introduction of modern
appliances that can cause family and community members not to reply
upon each other.”

Clearly he is an unprincipled scoundrel.
If he had principles, he would remain in jail rather than submit.
