Base rule 7,
Job rule 5
Base Roleplay guide :Black Market Dealer
The black market dealer works on that ambiguous line between being a legitimate market
trader, and being a criminal. The black market dealer has one of the widest choices of goods
to sell, including a variety of narcotics, kevlar, keypad crackers, breaches, and hostage ropes.
Whilst being a black market dealer doesn’t automatically make you a criminal, the police are
well aware that they sell illegal goods - and so you should avoid selling contraband in public,
unless you want to spend time in jail!

Now, you say BMDs cannot set up a shop, you have to be clever here. Having a massive sign saying BLACK MARKET DEALER or advertising the same is obviously failing slightly, but most drug dealers or other people who deal in the black market would either have a front or do it remotely. In regards to the 'front', you could do as Ghost said and set up a flower shop, or any other shop - perhaps keeping a back room for legitimate customers interested in your other wares. As far as I am aware, you CAN have contraband, as long as it isn't all you do. Perhaps owning a large area and then making the front of it a legitimate sales area, in the back is where you grow weed and use your contraband; as long as it is sufficiently far away so that the police cannot hear it, you cannot be raided. I will state again that if anyone raids you because they 'think' you have contraband then that is against the rules, you either have to see it or hear it.
You also mention the neutral ground etc. There are hundreds of ways to roleplay a BMD, and a mobile salesman is one of those ways. Yes you would probably use a mule, perhaps you can. I roleplayed a BMD who used a security guard as a mule to meet customers in a neutral place. You could even meet them in a neutral area, stated beforehand in PM for the 'drop'.
Obviously, a lot of his wares 'illegality' depends on current law. No-one 'sells' the actual contraband [Printers/Drug Labs] so everything else is up to the President. I will reiterate that you seem to have had a bad experience with cops raiding you illegitimately. 'Killed because he refused to open a door' sounds like rulebreaking to me. Always remind them, and gather evidence if possible, to attain a search warrant for a VALID reason. Because you're 'dressed' as a BMD would be metagaming/assuming too much and is NOT valid. However, this also links to earlier and so if you are the one advertising 'GET DRUGS AND SHIZZLE AT MEH BMD STORE' or have a huge BMD outside your 'shop' then that is where the 'raiding' comes from.
To surmise for all this, the 'Shop' rule is to prevent shops in the legitimate sense, similar to gundealers. By all means have contraband, as long as you don't 'base' [See above] and by all means have a shop as long as you roleplay it correctly; this is where the donor suits come in handy.
