Please continue to do so. If a passenger gets up when the seat belt is on, FA's should keep track of those folks. If there is a sudden drop in the aircraft - I have experienced this a few times - when FA goes to the ceiling - then any injury becomes the responsibility of the passenger and not CO. My view - CO is not legally responsible if the passenger violated the seat belt sign - and FA should be prepared to go to court to defend CO if necessary.
Just like someone jay walking - they are responsible - not the driver that hit them.
