Probably. Obviously, no one (hopefully) will call A1 on a violation if his big toe is in the lane for 3.0001 seconds. However, if A2 has been fully in the lane for 8 seconds, and then only gets one foot out, and stays there for another, oh 20 seconds, call the violation.
I tend to miss a lot of 3-second violations because I'm concentrating on the action of bodies in the paint.
