Since the article is in Dutch, here's my summary:

The Amsterdam municipality is demanding a startup to stop developing an app that can be used to prevent parking fines.

The app uses a dash cam to detect and notify users of a "scanauto" near their vehicle. These municipality cars use an automated camera system to detect license plates and fine owners who are not paying the parking fees. There is a 5 minute grace period between scanning and the requirement for a person to start paying for parking.

A user may use the notification from the app to start paying the parking fee during this time preventing a fine.
