It depends on the country I think? We have them too, but we don't have road tolls. They're used to monitor traffic and actual tracking if the police is looking for a specific licence plate in relation to a crime here.
They just check if you have sticker or they scan the license plates if you've bought the highway mark. They look like cameras hung on iron plates.
