It's done all the time. Try driving without having that little annual sticker on your license plate. States with vehicle inspection regimes use small stickers on the windshield. You don't have to catch violaters 100% of the time to get a high rate of compliance. A modest rate of detection will generate a high rate of compliance. On a related topic, raising the cost of driving into downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul without providing lower cost alternatives to getting there may do more harm than good. The downtowns, if they are to remain viable, need people to come there. It's their cars that are the problem. You could probably solve the traffic problem simply by raising the cost of parking to very high levels. However, you'd be throwing the baby out with the bathwater doing that. You'd lose not only the cars but the people who now drive them.
