Yes, they do.

After some searching (how am I going to explain that one to IT?) I don't see a consensus. At the very least, there are lots of legal ramifications when the opposite sex does the frisking. I don't think one can make a blanket statement.

Officers frisk for their own safety, not to cop a feel (pardon the potentially confusing phase here!). If an officer thinks that a person is potentially armed and dangerous, they are going to frisk. *IF* a woman cop is present and it's a woman suspect, or a male cop is present and it's a male suspect, then that officer will probably be called upon to do the frisk. But it's not like things always work out that way.

Bottom line is that you have no idea if that cop frisking you is gay or not, and it shouldn't make any difference. If the cop is doing some sort of inappropriate touching instead of searching for weapons, it's wrong no matter what the respective sexes and sexual preferences are.

Agree to disagree, I guess. If you have no preference, more power to you. I'd prefer not be frisked by a gay male cop just as most women would prefer not to be frisked by a male cop. It just leaves too many questions in my mind as to the reason for the frisk. Cops are human.

In a perfect world, it wouldn't matter. But that is idealistic. The reality is that 1) Frisking requires contact that would be inappropriate in other situations and 2) The decision to frisk is up to the officer's discretion. Since the officer is not perfect, neither is the discretion and therefore the necessity of the frisking can be called into question. An unnecessary frisk, in my mind, is no different from "copping a feel" and why would a straight male do an unnecessary frisk on another male?

(which, unfortunately is true)
