This may be content-based government censorship. You may very well have a legitimate case to enjoin enforcement of this policy.

As for co-employees sharing private... View More

An Iowa attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. If there is some sound medical basis, possibly - it would be best to consult with a local attorney for guidance under local law, with more detail and context. Good luck

If they turned the claim into their insurance company and it was paid, the insurance company would have a right to go after you for reimbursement.

An Iowa attorney could answer your question best, as it could also involve elements of state constitutional or employment law. But as a general matter, such safety measures are being upheld on the basis of protecting public health.

Based on the facts presented, you may have a basis for getting the search suppressed, particularly if there wasn't a valid reason for the stop. Talk to an attorney about this; you need someone to review whatever evidence the state has and help you make an informed decision about how to proceed.
The police had a search warrant to search my parents house because it is my mailing address. They took my wallet with my id in it and I’m having issues getting it returned.

You may have the grounds to go forward with a criminal complaint through the local county attorney’s office as well as a civil action against the man in question. I suggest that you immediately contact an attorney in Iowa who handles civil litigation.
