I was reading about this in the Virginia forums and I am curious about it here in Utah.
If you are OCing on the street, the officer cannot disarm you unless you are suspected of breaking a law, correct? Same conditions required for him to detain or arrest you? I would assume that (as long as you are not actually comitting a crime) you could ask for a "specific and articulatable" reason for the detention/disarmament/arrest BEFORE you comply with the request?
If you get pulled over for speeding, you are breaking a law so can the officer legally disarm you in this case? Seems to me like this is one of the only "regular" circumstances where his request, though annoying and unnecessary, would be legal.
