You bet, I can
Usually I have a position that if rule can not be effectively enforced, or it will cost more to enforce it compared to all possible benefits, then this rule should not be implemented (One exception being ethics where there shall be zero tolerance).
Any business in its fair mind shall provide a way for employees to comment on policies, and if comments make sense, change these policies. Shall this not be provided, employees will usually find their creative ways.

Lastly, in every country people live there is an abundance of stupid laws, which people usually obey - but why people think that they can ignore polcies which are explicit parts of their employment contracts... I dont know.

This is business ethics... if you can not (don't want) to comply to the policy, speak to your supervisor (or whoever approves report) in advance. if they approve, go ahead. If they don't, you have to comply or find another employer, there is no 3rd way.
