The disarming was accomplished when he had the driver exit the vehicle with the gun still inside. I would have locked the car doors and repeated that I was not consenting to any search.A-R wrote:Did the trooper search the vehicle? Or just disarm the driver/CHL holder?

Government Code 411.207. AUTHORITY OF PEACE OFFICER TO DISARM. (a) A peace officer who is acting in the lawful discharge of the officer's official duties may disarm a license holder at any time the officer reasonably believes it is necessary for the protection of the license holder, officer, or another individual. The peace officer shall return the handgun to the license holder before discharging the license holder from the scene if the officer determines that the license holder is not a threat to the officer, license holder, or another individual and if the license holder has not violated any provision of this subchapter or committed any other violation that results in the arrest of the license holder.
I also don't like the question about "large amounts of cash". What crime is he investigating again? How does having a large amount of cash in any way relate to whether the driver was violating the speed limit?
My answer would have been no, by the way. I am not rich, so by definition I do not consider any amount of cash that I possess to be a large amount of cash. The LEO is asking for my personal opinion. He is not asking a factual question.
