Robert F. asked

⚖️  Law

I owned a retail location in Evansdale, IA, that sold glass pipes and other items. The city police considered the items drug paraphernalia in 2009, leading to the store's closure. The Iowa Court of Appeals ruled in 2014 that unused glass pipes are not drug paraphernalia. I am considering re-opening a location in Evansdale to sell and manufacture glass pipes, as well as pipes made from other materials. Would the city be able to close my business again? Should I get an attorney on retainer before re-opening? Should I have an attorney contact the city beforehand?
