More details to this question:
My friend got pulled over and the cop made everyone get out of the car. He searched all of us by patting us down and reaching into our pockets. Me and another girl requested a female cop and he said no. They found a bowl on me. Can I get out of it because the cop was a guy and he can't search a girl?

No that is not illegal but they usually do search with officers of the same sex to avoid charges of impropriety.

No, the charge will not be dismissed just because a male cop searched a female suspect.

No, there is no requirement for same sex officers to do such a search as described.

The police are not allowed to search without a warrant or consent it sounds like you asked not to be searched you may have consented to a search if and only if it was done by a woman - violation of your scope of consent equals lack of consent why was car stopped why did he think everyone needed to be searched what crime was he investigating.
