You're mistaken. A local admin can override policies (at the very least
for a short while until they are reapplied), and even if that wasn't
possible (s)he can always log on locally, in which case domain policies
don't apply at all. The only way to control users with local admin
privileges is to revoke their local admin privileges. Everything else
are futile efforts.
