So an app which was correctly identifying parking tickets which were improperly issued, automating the completely legal dispute process, and making it easier for people to pay their fines was blocked because...?
I really want to believe that there's another side to this that's more substantial than, "we're too lazy to issue citations correctly, we're banking on the average person not knowing that their ticket was improperly issued, and we're counting on people forgetting to pay to rack up those sweet, sweet late fees" but I can't think of anything. Can someone possibly shed some light on these cities' reasonings?
