Question

Does the situation in which a male police officer frisks a female suspect pose any constitutional problems? What steps could the officer substitute for the frisk?

Answer 1

With Perm From The female With out perm officer will loose his job.

Step-by-step explanation:

In most agencies female officers are few and far between. In my county (counting local police departments, sheriff, CHP, Fish and Game, and various federal BLM and National Park officers) there is a whopping total of 4 female officers in the entire county (not counting correctional deputies at the jail who are not free to travel to the field and injured female officers currently unavailable)! The odds of a female officer being available and in the area on any stop we make is astronomical.

If the law required same-s$x searches, then we would have to detain females for an hour or longer at the scene of any stop.
