The only way that charges for VFR flight could be enforced would be with a quarterly or annual charge.

Mode S can be used to identify an aircraft (using the world-unique 24-bit code that's programmed into the transponder) which is a lot easier than sending a police heli to go after it, but the system cannot be used for per-mile or per-hour airspace charges because the radar coverage isn't there.
