It would be nice to know for sure what the violation was. My understanding of the codes is that they cover the outlet and everything before that. You should be able to plug anything you want into an outlet. If it overloads, the breaker will trip. If it has a short, the breaker will trip. If the power is being "stolen", that's an issue for the owner of the outlet and law enforcement. I'm just not clear on what jurisdiction the HFD has over extension cords, or what codes are being violated by using them.
