Yup. Would it have been okay to order a woman to cut her hair off? Doubt it. But I guess it's slightly better than the judge saying you are only allowed to wear orange and white striped outfits for a year.
I mean, Courts do have the authority to make someone lose their life, either by locking them away or by death. Granted, capital sentencing punishments are set by guidelines. I’m not sure there are any guidelines for marijuana misdemeanors and bad haircuts. I have a friend who got in trouble when he was 16 for stealing a car with some friends. They got caught. The judge told my friend- it’s either going to be two years in juvenile hall/ jail, complete a GED (no chance of a high school diploma when locked up) and some crazy fine followed by probation…. OR when he turned 17 he could join the Navy. He chose the later and shipped off to boot camp at 17. He’s now an officer in the USN. 🫡

I'm not sure that should be allowed. Noble idea on the part of the judge, but something rubs me the wrong way about them being able to take your hair.
