All roads entering into the C-Zone in London have CCTV to record numberplates. So if you havent paid your C-Charge by the end of the day you get a penalty ticket in the post

They actually just tried to implement that this year, the state gov't in Albany nixed it.
Congestion Pricing Plan Dies in Albany
"ALBANY — Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s ambitious dream to remake New York City streets with an elaborate plan for congestion pricing died on Monday, after Democrats refused to put the bill to a public vote on the floor of the State Assembly.
Mayor Bloomberg denounced the decision, saying that this was “a sad day for New Yorkers and a sad day for New York City.” He said the plan would have cut traffic and pollution, spurred the economy and qualified the city for millions in federal funding." ><snip><
