Your morning news roundup for Thursday April 26th, 2007:

Careless smoking can lead to disaster, but so can standing up to bullying. Apparently both can result in your home going up in flames.

The pilot program that put video cameras in 18 police cruisers isn't going so well so far. Equipment failures are a problem, and the systems will not be fitted in the entire fleet until more reliable equipment is found. You won't be seeing your rebel neighbour appear on "Cops" any time soon.

Police surveillance cameras are back up this morning in public spaces in Scarborough's Malvern residential community, and in the downtown entertainment district. Don't pick your nose or stab anyone if you want to avoid embarrassment or arrest, folks.
