Let’s see a picture of the tarps and plastic containers out in the yard.
Tarps today equal a Chevy on cinder blocks tomorrow.
I think the proper course of action is to question the authority of confiscation. You do this by requesting in writing the exact citation of the code you are allegedly violating, and the exact details of why you are in violation. Also include informing you of the sections on decision-making and appeal processes. Any photographic evidence taken should be part of your request. It goes without saying that you should have your own exhibits ready if you are determined to fight it. This will probably be too much work and he is likely to go away quietly. Many times all an inspector needs to justify his job is to make a cursory inspection and document his visit.
Most of these things are complaint-driven. Oddly enough, most codes protect the accuser and give you no right to confront the person nor to negotiate. So it’s up to you, if in fact the ordinance appears to apply to you, to wear the other shoe and see if you can figure out how to ameliorate the situation.
Maybe one or more of your neighbors do not agree that your flower arranging is what you think it is. In which case, you should consider the easy route and move it all back to your back yard, especially if there seems to be some validity to the inspector’s claim.
In no case should you or your allies doxx the guy. You should quietly remove that from your blog IMHO. If after reading the code(s) you think you have a case, then follow the procedure. Expect it to take some time, like months.
Contacting elected officials should only be done in public sessions. They are instructed not to reply to ex-officio requests or demands in all jurisdictions that I know of, with penalties for them if ignored.
Old saying: you can’t fight city hall. You can, but it’s likely to be frustrating and interfere with your enjoyment.
