Ammunition and firearms, according to the police.
Uh huh.
If they could train dogs to rat out lgbtq kids they probably would.
This was actually my original thought :/ It should be a joke, but then again, so should drug searches.
Such an idiotic move. If a kid already had a gun in their possession but they weren't yet sure if they should actually do any killing, having a cop come toward them with a weapon-sniffing dog that will get them in huge trouble will almost definitely cause them to panic and actually start shooting.
This is, unfortunately very likely. Worse is that this won't do anything to stop kids from doing what they do. It will just lead to more situations where a kid is probably going to be very harshly punished when no harm was actually done, no drugs were consumed, and no weapons were used.
But now; with this randomized dog screening; there are going to be more incidents than there would normally be. Kids will bring illicit materials, objects and substances to school for many reasons that don't involve using them. Some of the time they just want to look or seem cool, edgy or rebellious and they don't actually realize the gravity of what they're doing.
But isn’t every good kid with a gun a solution against a bad kid with a gun? /s
god if only the dogs would completely misunderstand and maul the police for handling guns
