Brooklyn buddies want NYPD safe space for Internet deals
Budding young Internet entrepreneurs who sell merchandise on eBay, Craig’s List or Facebook should be able to meet their customers at a public place, like a police precinct, to complete the business transaction instead of having a total stranger come to their home.
That’s the intriguing idea being promoted by two Brooklyn buddies, Steven Patzer and Andrew Windsor.
The two friends, who recently graduated from Baruch College, are trying to convince the City Council to pass a bill to create so-called Internet Protection Exchange Locations (IPEL) in a select number of police precinct station houses around the five boroughs.
