Something to think about though, if enforcement was lax in the past and is suddenly being enformced at an iron-clad level with no advance warning that it is coming, that can certainly lead to feelings of being persecuted unfairly. Especially if the person handing out the punishments has a negative history with the person affected and is not known to an agent with the authority to hand out said punishments. Justified or not, a communication failure occurred and the administrative staff could have potentially saved itself a lot of grief by being more open earlier with what was going on.
