Stopped to get a money order to pay my $169 speeding ticket and while at the desk I seen a county cop carrying cross draw.
She had the pistol on her left side orientated to draw with her right hand. I just couldn't think of a good scenario for this carry.

Y tho?

I don't know.  That's nuts .
People are saying if you are in your car, you can cross draw more easily than from a normal holster. This is  true, but you are outside of your car more often than in your car. It's an officer safety issue to have a cross draw holster.

You are missing the point. A standard strong side holster can be damn near impossible to get to in a car depending on how you or your car is configured. On the street a crossdraw would only be marginally slower(if at all) with practice so you aren't giving up much.

I am not saying it is the end all be all and prefer strong side holsters but having shot out of a couple crossdraw holsters I think they can be used to pretty good effect if need be.

women have hips, which can be more difficult to draw from in the standard position
