    Every police department has their own set of general orders. we search women within certain areas. we call lady officers for a thorough search of a suspect.

    I have never observed a female officer searching a male suspect. i assume it happens, but not in my jurisdiction.

    It's simply because a woman can claim she was "felt up" by a male officer a lot easier than a man can claim the same about a female officer. It's the way society has been for quite some time. All men are classified negatively because of the actions of a few.
