Okay by the county.......the feds say ''no''
We are owners of a retail store. We sell contemporary tobacco accessories. Six yrs. ago we and 20 plus other retailers were raided and the tobacco products were confiscated. There were no charges, ALL inventory was replaced and the prosecuting attny. told our attny. to pretend the raid never happened. Just recently we were raided by the FEDS and they intend to charge with the sale of drug paraphernalia! How, after the county authorities okayed the sale of our inventory, can the feds say otherwise and what defenses do we have? Is criminal estoppel applicable, should the former asst. prosecutor that handled the case as well as the prosecutor of the county be indicted since they okayed the sale of the goods. Is the law itself unconstitutionally vague? We need some good legal arguments!
