Santa Barbara Co. Sheriff's Office utilizing K-9 to seek out ghost guns

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office says it's seeing an increase in the number of ghost guns during searches. 

The gun might look similar to any regular weapon, however, it's missing one major piece: the registration to make it legally owned. 

You probably have heard of K-9's trained for narcotics and search and rescue missions, but K-9 Zeke and his handler Deputy Shane Moore are trained in something different. 

Zeke is the only K-9 in the tri-county area that can now sniff out weapons like ghost guns.

So it's trained to alert to steel and polymer, the very stuff vehicles are made out of, giving cops a reason to legally search every fucking vehicle they pull over for probable cause.
