I've worked in the public sector a while and what I learned is - if the agency head(s) ask you to do something job related, even if it's against the policy that's printed out, you do it.
In my experience (private sector, financial industry) that results in immediate termination of your employment. And that isn't theoretical, I'm aware of two instances at my current company. In both cases they had security guards escort them off the premises.
