Is there any sort of glasses that cops can use to detect cocaine?

I got a customer coming in asking for something like that, and I can't find out what its name is. He described it as a pair of some sort of x-ray glasses that can detect stuffs like cocaine and other drug. He's a local cop, and he lost the glasses, and is looking to find a way to maybe purchase them somewhere.

    Yes as in Glass. Like you drink out of. You put a urine sample in it. It has a number of stripes or bars around the inside that will change color at detection of chemicals. Also a tube is made for this. Multiple lithmus test at once. They are used in the Philippines when you take or renew your drivers permit. Or job. & such. Instant fast drug test. For more than 1 drug. You fail they tell you to take a test at a lab. & return with that to get your drivers permit. That type of glass.

    No such glasses exist. No such glasses are even theoretically possible with known science. There are field test kits that some officers carry that can distinguish cocaine from flour, or other white powders. Trained dogs can smell cocaine. There is not visual means to identify cocaine.

    I had a K-9 arrest me for a DWI charge the otherday. I swear the dog just came up and told me to put my hands behind my back and then cuffed me. He sat me in the back of the patrol car, closed the door, walked around to the driver seat, hopped in, and drove off.

    If he's a cop he would get them through the police department if these even exist.. He would also know what they are called.

    Yeah, I used to be a cop and was issued "special cop only drug detecting x-ray glasses" SCODXRG's, we called them. You can only buy them from the FBI, or Ebay.

    no that's impossible, cops mainly use sniffer dogs that are trained to smell out drugs like cocaine, that's pretty much the only way to detect cocaine without actually seeing it.
