You don't have to consent to being contacted in the first place. If you're walking down the sidewalk I am free to try and engage you in conversation...
Only because they are still an individual human being with the same right to attempt a conversation with any other person that any other person has, they may do the same. Why would they want to if no erratic behavior was observed? Well, that's a good question, I don't really want to explore it, though, I don't think arguing about the validity of concern existing beyond a brief observation is going to be very fruitful.
The OCer in the video seemed to have no trouble at all breaking away from and ending the conversation.
Let's just agree that the highlighted portion of my post is contestable.
Consensual encounter has been twisted by cops and the courts to basically an investigation/fishing expedition.
I now use the term casual encounter for conversations that are mutually agreed to. This would be the average person on the street who has a conversation with another average person on the street. That is not what most cops do in "consensual" encounters.
