I am on the executive at my local course here in Alberta and this issue is often brought up at board meetings. To make matters worse, sometimes the biggest offenders are other board members!
Unfortunately we don't have paid marshalls on our course and rely on member volunteers to marshall, so it is difficult to police these reprobates and they are usually repeat offenders.
When I catch up to them, I usually just say "I see you have a larger group than is allowed, so we are just going to play through", not "can we play through" or "will you allow us to play through" we just say we are going to do it and it works!!
Nice try but they both started as 5somes with the blessing of Management. In my experience this is inexcusable.
