In Arizona, seeing Joe Arpaio on TV is nothing new.
But, now he has a national platform to pursue lawbreakers that stretches beyond the 5 o'clock news.
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, which oversees the state's most populous county, has a starring role in "Smile ... You're Under Arrest!," a new reality show debuting today on Fox Reality Channel.
A cross between "Punk'd" and "Cops," the program sets up elaborate sting operations to snare people wanted on outstanding warrants.
Actors and undercover deputies play along in faux scenarios where scofflaws are enticed to have a good time; the drama comes when cast members reveal the prank and waiting deputies slap on handcuffs.
