I'm really surprised this hasn't happened sooner. Parking along the seawall in galveston used to be free. Now you pay with a smart meter. I saw it coming a mile away because all the smart meters had QR codes to download the app. Only takes a smart person to build a web app that looks similar, with a paypal link, ask what meter you're at, send an email that you're good for X minutes, etc.
