What are the laws on male police officers searching females in the state of Illinois?

Because police agencies each have their own policies, there is no specific law that covers all police officers in the state of Illinois. The general rule seems to be that a female is as able to use a concealed weapon against an officer as a male and, even if a female officer is not available, the female suspect must be searched. A male officer searching a female suspect should have a witness to the search. Any officer is to search the person before putting them in the police car for safety reasons. a male officer can search a female and a female officer is allowed to search a male, no matter what. See the related link for information on this subject or you can visit the Illinois ACLU website for information specific to Illinois.

In the USA you can address a police officer as 'Sir' 'Ma'am' or 'Officer' when you are talking to them so how do you address a French Police Officer when conversing with them?

In France, it is respectful to address a police officer as "Monsieur" (Sir) or "Madame" (Ma'am). You can also use the term "Agent" followed by their rank if known, such as "Agent" or "Commissaire" (Commissioner). It is important to remain polite and respectful when addressing a French police officer.


What do civilians call a police officer in French?

A police officer is "un policier, une policière" (or "un gendarme, une gendarme" in rural areas). The equivalent for "cop" is "flic"; it is not considered rude and they use it themselves. Finally, if if you want to address them, "monsieur l'agent / monsieur" for a male police officer, or "madame" for a female police officer, are the common ways in French.


What are the laws on male police officers searching females in the state of Washington?

None at all. Generally department policy will state that it is preferred that an officer of the same sex conduct any physical search, but it is impossible to require. If there is no female officer available when a male officer arrests a female, the officer will still be required to search the suspect. It is 100% an officer safety issue and entirely non-discretionary.


Can a female strip search a male?

Unless there is some specific prohibition in your area, yes. In fact the idea that a male searches a male and a female searches a female is normally policy, not regulation. A small department may not have an officer of the 'correct' sex available when a search needs to be done, so whoever is available can perform the searches.
