After coming to understand how interactions between public agents and citizens work, always looking for consent, I started seeing encounter videos for what they really are. The citizen just hands over everything that wasn't even asked for, putting themselves in a submissive position—it's automatic. I haven't had that unpleasant experience yet; if I do, I'm still not a sovereign individual in possession of my public titles to use if necessary, but I know I shouldn't give them even a shred of consent and should ask pertinent questions. The questions for a basic encounter provided by the Sovereign Project are a very good framework that opens our minds to what they actually want when they approach us.
