When you pass through a toll, you are logged, even if you pay with cash. Your license plate is captured via camera and the software pulls the letters. If you pass through the booth and no coins are detected, you are sent a fine. If I'm not mistaken, the government isn't tracking your car, but the contractor that handles the tolls certainly is.

If the toll is paid, why would the contractors go to the bother and expense to keep a record of the hundreds of millions of cars passing through toll booths every day?
Software pulling plate numbers won't stand up in court, they need a photograph and in some places the photograph must show the drivers face.
I doubt if they have enough people to chase that they can't process the plate pictures manually.
