What’s all this I hear about the NYPD cracking down on stoop sales? Apparently, someone posted on the Brooklynian that  police shut down a stoop sale on Sunday in front of a building on Flatbush Ave near Grand Army Plaza.

“I told them I didn’t think I was doing anything wrong, and that we have a stoop sale every couple of years and have never had a problem. They asked where I lived and I gestured to my apartment building right behind me. I also said that I wasn’t blocking the sidewalk–since there was probably 10 feet open.

“Then the second cop asked, “Do you have a license?” I replied that I didn’t, but I also didn’t think I was doing anything wrong. I was calm, but after that I sensed that the cops were getting uncomfortable because people had gathered and were observing. So I said, “I’ll pack it up, no problem, officer.”

A license? I’ve never heard of a stoop sale license. I’m sure there’s something on the books about needing a license to sell items on the streets. But boy would it be crazy if they started shutting down stoop sales in Park Slope.

If this is yet another quality of life improvement that Bloomberg is pushing, I’m going to eat my stoop sale. I mean, come on. I know the cops have better things to do.
