Possibly from a legal point. Not from my personal POV. That's the whole
point. Something does not have to be a (provable) crime for me to pass
unfavourable personal judgement. That the 45 yo was cleared by the court
because the partner happened to have their 18th birthday the day before
changes very little, if anything at all, for me.

That said, you can be fined the same parking fee whether you are 1 minute or
59 minutes over, and will not be fined if you are 15 seconds under. While
that's also a very binary "legal" judgement, it doesn't carry any moral
implications.
