Don't know about this one.

Well the AI can only enforce the RoE's with feedback, right? Well from
everything I've seen (zombies et al.) it doesn't look like the manitou
feels pain while in control.
So the manitou goes against an RoE and the AI responds with feedback.
The manitou doesn't care, and keeps on going. The AI would "see" this as a
test of wills and up the juice. If the manitou continues to go against the
RoE the AI would continue to up the juice just as if it hadn't yet won the
test of wills.
Now the manitou is left with a choice (once it figures out the
consequences of its actions), does it keep going and risk damage to its
host or does it back off and let the AI take over. It all depends on how
much your marshal really hates the fact that you insisted on playing a
heavy can even though he didn't want you to ;)
