Editor's note: Updated: A reader tells us that the two in the cop's bed are not teens! They still shouldn't be riding in the back of a pick-up truck!

Official Observer, America's Constitution Police is a concept 5thEstate.com has been pushing for years. We sell t-shirts to announce that as an American, you are a proud member of this force. Go To OfficialObserver.com to get yours! Thanks for our Official Observer photo!

What's up with that? An "Official Observer" emailed a pictured taken just before noon on Saturday Manor Township. The picture is a City of Lancaster Police truck with not one but TWO teen age girls riding in the back! According to a police interview, policy prohibits transporting passengers. "Why were they in Manor Township?" the officer wanted to know? He also felt that "We need to police our own." and wanted to know the website address of this 'zine.

Pennsylvania law allows for riding in the back of the pickup truck when you are over 18 and driving under 35 miles an hour. (but if you get in the cab of the truck, you better get your seat belt on!). The age of the girls in the back of the bed were not known. MAYBE someone will investigate!
