I still say play along, put up with his garbage, then when it's over, lawyer up and go after him. The results will be a lot more satisfying and you won't have been egotized on the side of the road.

No one holds more disdain for power-corrupted, ego-maniacal cops that I do, but even I realize the law says they can disarm you for no reason. The law also says unless you are detained, he has to give it back. It doesn't say he has to give it back loaded, and he doesn't have to put it back in your holster for you, he just has to give it back. I've talked to DPS that doesn't disarm anyone unless given a reason, and I've talked to some that say they always disarm. It's his right under the law. As long as it goes smooth and you don't give the guy an excuse to shoot you, that's what counts. if you have to deal with a jerk, the place to go after him is with his supervisor, chief, city council, courts, etc., but just let the guy think he's protecting and serving by writing you up and nail him later when a confrontation has no chance of going south.
As long as get my piece back, I'm happy. If he doesn't want to give it back, I'll wait for his superior to show up and explain why his officer is above the law. Maybe my attorney will arrive at about the same time and we can all have a spirited discussion..
