And it's clear policy in most work places that you can't leave work 15 minutes early without permission and people still do it and don't get caught and when they do they usually aren't punished unless they're menial labor.
This is a minor infraction. The detention barn was a joke from the get-go and things aren't going to change because you can't fight the lawyers.
