I suppose it comes down to they type of company/employees. I'm more used to companies that leave things fairly open for employees, and demand (rather than expect) that the employee be responsible with it. Employees will understand that monitoring needs to be done at times and offenders be dealt with. "Firm and fair" sometimes works better than "beat me if you can". Not always though, so admittedly it's horses for courses.
