Extremely authority-oriented- the official is simply not questioned, even if they clearly are 10 years behind in their knowledge of the rules. That said, I have gotten re-rides here due to unclipping, but to be fair it was when I was using traditional pedals. With step-ins + a strap, it should probably never happen unless there is a genuine mechanical issue (broken cleat; broken pedal), in which case I think a re-ride would be in order. Without that, how do you ever unclip accidentally?
