CNN transcripts

CHETRY: Right. Well, bottom line, before we let you go. Thumb's up or thumb's down? Is this something you think more police departments should have?

TUCKER: Absolutely. I think it's going to be a great tool and I think law enforcement across the United States need it to help battle the methamphetamine problem.

CHETRY: And it's a big one as we said. Sheriff Stephen Tucker with the Greenlee County, Arizona Sheriff's Department. Again, Sunny, we had a chance to hear a little bit about what he said. Are any of your concerns allayed by hearing, at least his take on how to use.

SUNNY HOSTIN, AMERICAN MORNING, LEGAL ANALYST: They really are. I loved that I heard that the law enforcement are there to protect our rights and our fourth amendment rights. And so everything that he said is the right thing. He said we're not just scanning people for no reason at all. I'm not going to be walking down the street, you're not going to be walking down the street in Arizona and they're not going to be doing that sort of thing. What they're doing is that if they have a reasonable suspicion that you have meth or they've seen the meth or there is a traffic stop, a legal traffic stop, they're going to use it to confirm that what they have seen is meth. What they have seen in plain view or what they have found. That's a very different scenario than sort of all the scenarios that I've been thinking of that scared the heck out of me.

CHETRY: In a way, he is saying you can confirm it so much faster than the type of testing done before so perhaps people who are innocent aren't going to get any scenario.

HOSTIN: Absolutely. He is saying, you know, instead of law enforcement having to touch and handle methamphetamine, which sometimes for prosecutors is, problematic down the line, they can use this gun. I loved everything that I heard from him today.
