At my school, we get rules like that all the time. Give it a week, and no one will care. Basically it comes down to how much the teachers/security/whatever like the rules. If they(the law enforcement, effectively), don't think the rules are rules worth having, they often won't enforce them.

Example from my school: No student is allowed outside the lunch area at lunch. No excuses.

We have our library, computer lab, and teachers outside this area. Often students need these resources during lunch. Our principal is very lazy, and often isn't even at the school for lunch, so that leaves the teachers. When a student is caught in an out-of-bounds area, the teacher will often just ask why they are back there. And them let them go. AFAIK, nothing has ever resulted from this.

BTW, we just got a new principal too, as well as cuts on the security staff. We're averaging four fights a week so far.

They're trying to close the campus for all next year, but once again, the teachers don't like the idea. The school simply can't hold that many people all eating lunch at the same time.
