The rule states that the camera(s) should remain the same side of an imaginary line. The line is drawn perpendicular to the camera's viewpoint in the establishing shot of the scene. The rule enforces continuity of the film.
The rule should never be broken, unless for 'effect'. If you do break the rule it will leave the audience confused in a conversation. Crossing the line when filming over the shoulder shots shifts the person's eye line do not match.
