If you want to get more mileage out of those tax dollars, you can now use the Hartford Police Department’s parking lot to conduct your Craigslist transactions.
With a number of those exchanges turning into robberies — and worse — it might bring peace of mind to buy and sell within shouting distance of the law. There is video surveillance of the lot and the front desk is staffed every hour of every day.
While new to Hartford, the idea did not originate here. Police departments across the country are making similar offers.
Any bets on how long before someone gets nabbed selling illegal goods in the lot?
