If you pay for 30 minutes of parking at 1:10:45, you should not get a ticket 29 minutes and 15 seconds later at 1:40. It doesn't matter what the wording is on the receipt. It's like buying a dozen eggs and only finding 11 when you get home, except worse since there's a $30 fine involved.

It's not the user's fault that the city's system doesn't include seconds in the timestamp. If they can't implement that, they should give everyone the full last minute.

The city is violating its implied contract. This is starting to feel like class action territory. I'm sure there are enough nationwide users of the app to make it worthwhile.
