Well that's the same for every police and other authority then. Anyone can break the rules if they so wish.You need to know in order to object.
The wording looks great.Lets take a look at sec 3.5 for example
- 3.5. Statutory searches specifically Strip and EIP Searches under Sections 9 through to 12 within Code C, Annex A of The Police and Criminal Evidence act and Annex C of the Code of Practice on the Exercise by Constables of Powers of Stop and Search of the Person in Scotland specifically require that the officer and the subject must be the same sex. For searches conducted under these powers particularly the provisions set under for searches under Section 54 and 55 of PACE.1984, BTP officers/Staff will only search persons of the same sex as either their Birth Certificate or GRC.
Born Male searching born female.
Do you want to go through the other sections too?
So it was a waste of time putting the policy together and they could quite easily withdraw it? I wonder why they didn't.The wording looks great.
In the real world - not happening. Never in a million. Zilch. Zero.

Anoraks and head scarfs - maybe.
Boxes need to be ticked.So it was a waste of time putting the policy together and they could quite easily withdraw it? I wonder why they didn't.
Where? When? Which nick was it at?But they do.

Yes but......Where? When? Which nick was it at?
Reality - never in a million years boyo.
The true biological identity of a trans woman cannot be revealed, it’s entirely possible that colleagues don't know. That would be breaking the rulesWell that's the same for every police and other authority then. Anyone can break the rules if they so wish.
The policy doesn't contemplate that option, it only contemplates that to all intents and purposes there is no difference between biological woman and a trans woman. Misunderstanding your own policy and then failing to implement the mistake isn't a defence to anything.If a woman request that a biological female searches her, but they use clean shaven Georgina, then that isn't the fault of the policy. It's the fault of the authorising officer. But as I said, that rule breaking wouldn't be restricted to the BTP.
Contemplate what? The ability of the the person being searched to choose who searches her?The policy doesn't contemplate that option,
Yes, that could happen in any force, including the Met.That would be breaking the rules
