That’s a weird reaction. Why not just ignore the bill entirely? It’s not like a municipality has any viable enforcement mechanism against what amounts to a smartphone app.
Sure they do, they can fine them and if they don’t comply they can go to state court to get it enforced. Individuals may be able to flout overdue tolls or traffic tickets or whatever for a while, but it’s extremely easy to impose a fine on a public corporation.
