The police CAN arrest the Amish.

The discipline that the church imposes upon its members is generally harsher than the courts can impose. For that reason, judges appear to be more lenient to the rare Amish defendant than they actually are.

Amish teenagers in Sinking Springs, PA, worked a deal with the Pagans motorcycle club of Philadelphia to distribute recreational drugs to Amish teenagers. Not only were the kids prosecuted, but there were stories for a while that a major Hollywood studio was to make a movie of it. There have also been a lot of prosecutions in recent years for sex crimes against children.
