I take issue with this as well. By that logic I could use this on every other character I meet.
"Natalie--if you're being forcibly murdered and the other character disagrees with your OOC intent to be alive--then you're murdered. Obviously a compromise is ideal... but you don't get the final say just because you started the rp with being alive."
I'm joking a bit, but I think it's true. Also I don't think a character walking up to talk to you counts as "Joining an RP". I think that if you approach people with zero discussion OOC, then you have to be willing to accept that they might not 100% go along with everything you say. I'll go along with like 99% of what walk up RPers say, but if it involves the death/imprisonment/disgrace/maiming of my character, it kind of needs to be discussed at least a little first, in my opinion.
And that's why I said FIRST that it's rude as hell to enter into an intense rp without a tell. If that tell doesn't happen and you don't give the OK for that character to enter the rp... then forget it. Ignore the jerk.
But once you agree to let that person join your rp, you agree to respect that person's rp. Again, it isn't outrageous to think that a lawman should be able to arrest your character.
I think you're putting a lot into the thought of being arrested. There's a big difference between being arrested... being imprisoned (for short/long period of time)... and being killed.
