The FAA can violate anybody that is in the plane that holds a pilot's license. Even if they're sitting in the back seat. Not to mention you don't know what you'll hit if you do start descending before being established. As long as you've cancelled IFR and continuing VFR in VMC, you can do whatever you want.
