You are a student at your local school. Once school lets out for the day and you're miles away from the school property, you get involved in a "misunderstanding". Perhaps you partake in a Zany Scheme, enact a Practical Joke, or you have to fight The Bully. When you return to school, you're shocked to learn that you're being punished for those offenses you committed off school grounds and outside of school hours.
Depending on the school, this can be Truth in Television. Some laws allow it, and certain schools (particularly those with recognizable uniforms, boarding schools, religious schools, and/or private schools) want to protect their reputations.
A Sub-Trope of Artistic License – Education, which includes any instance of school staff exerting authority they shouldn't have, whether it be on school grounds or outside of it. May overlap with Jurisdiction Friction. If student(s) are punished for the actions of a family member or an acquaintance, it could also overlap with I Will Punish Your Friend for Your Failure or Revenge by Proxy. Compare Absurdly Powerful Student Council, where the student leaders of the school have more power than they should. More or less the school version of There Is No Higher Court.

Bleach: In episode 10, Ichigo and Rukia are grabbed by security when they tried to interfere with one of Don Kanonji's public exorcisms off-campus. In episode 11 it's revealed that their actions were captured on film and they and the other students who were there are called before the school administration for possible disciplinary action.

The Simpsons: In "Bart's Girlfriend" Bart uses a balloon to pull up Groundskeeper Willie's kilt during a "Scotchtoberfest" event and immediately gets busted by Principal Skinner who was using the phony "Scotchoberfest" as a sting operation to entrap Bart, despite the sting operation clearly taking place off school grounds and on a Sunday. He's forced to serve detention for it.

Miraculous Ladybug: A flashback in the episode "Derision" has Chloé commanding Mr. Damocles to punish Marinette's friend Socqueline for breaking her phone (because Chloé was using it to record an embarrassing video of Marinette) even though at the time they were outside of school grounds and it didn't happen during school hours, and Mr. Damocles himself points out that he has no authority to punish a student for what they do outside of his jurisdiction. But he relents and reluctantly suspends Socqueline anyway after Chloé threatens to get her father the mayor involved.

The 2008 Lifetime movie Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal has the eponymous cheerleaders heading into an adult boutique and novelty store where they take photos of themselves messing around and trying out the merchandise inside. They end up posting these pictures on MySpace later; and get punished with a school suspension. Justified because these cheerleaders are in uniform during their escapade and are therefore representing, er, misrepresenting the school.

Weird school rules in Hong Kong:
Several of the titular "weird school rules" featured in the series include forbidding students from doing even innocuous things outside of the campus while wearing their school uniform, such as using their phone. In that skit, a teacher catches a student breaking the rules and records down her name (most likely in case of future punishment), but karma comes in to collect her debt just minutes later.
According to an Episode 17 skit, some schools required the students' parents to check their children's WhatsApp every day to see if they ever went out with their classmates.

In Revenge of the Nerds the municipal police have zero authority on Adams College campus. It's implied the school is so powerful that the local police leaves it completely alone.

Possible to exploit this in Yandere Simulator: if Yandere-chan can get proof of someone committing some sort of infraction or an act that would embarrass the school, she can then turn it into the school counselor in order to eventually get the student expelled for being a troublemaker. In the alpha builds Info-chan gives her a video of Kokona selling her used panties to boys.

In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Professor Umbridge bans Harry and the Weasley twins from playing Quidditch for life after they get into a fight with Malfoy and his cronies on the pitch, and confiscates their brooms. Though as Ginny points out, in practice the ban will only last as long as Umbridge is at the school, which is proven true the following year. Also, a lifetime ban would most likely be a matter for the Department of Magical Games and Sports, of which Umbridge is not a member.

Blue Bloods: Subverted in "Devil's Breath". At first Erin's daughter Nicky tries to organize a sit-in to protest her school's policy of being able to search lockers at any time regardless of the student's consent. At the end of the episode she changes it to a mass protest after school hours and across the street. The principal threatens to suspend the whole group but Erin forces her to back down by pointing out that such a protest is, in fact, protected under the First Amendment.

The Simpsons Hit & Run: One mission has Bart get his toy laser gun confiscated by Principal Skinner, on the grounds that "Laser guns are not permitted on school property." However, this interaction takes place both off school property and outside of school hours, meaning Skinner has no authority to take the gun.

Wedding Peach: In the anime, a Sadist Teacher named Iwamoto (actually a devil in disguise) comes to power in the heroines' school and sets up strict rules. Not only is student behavior controlled inside school but outside school as well. In fact, he even follows Momoko, Yuri, Hinagiku and their male friends to a ski resort to enforce his edict about boys and girls not meeting or talking with each other.

One arc of No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular! centered on Tomoko and Masaki being punished at school for riding an electric scooter home, even though they didn't drive it on school grounds (this is actually Truth in Television in Japan for students wearing their uniforms off-campus, which those two were.)
