From KVOA in Tucson...
Smile!
You may be on camera if you are headed south on Interstate 19, but that smile will turn to a frown if you're in a stolen vehicle.

Safford, Arizona. This nugget of wisdom from the sheriff of Graham County: Fireworks that go up, must come down. Now, I'll bet you didn't know that!
