In fact, this comes up all the time in the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' franchise. Speaking your mind to a superior officer without asking this first is insubordination and can be punished appropriately and the senior officer can also revoke it at any time. A variant, "permission to speak frankly," also exists. The superior officer may also choose to deny the request, or may reply "Always," indicating an apparent blank check that they prefer for their subordinates to always speak their mind and they will not be punished for insubordination if they do so. It's also worth noting that many officers within the series have simply made this request then gone ahead and started speaking their minds without waiting for the requested permission.

** One memorable example also occurs on ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'', where Kira, wanting to discuss the possible replacement of Odo as security chief with a Starfleet officer, asks Sisko for permission to speak freely, and once, granted, ''erupts'' in frustrated rage at Starfleet's cluelessness.
** Worf does this when going to have a private discussion with Kurn over why he's being constantly patronised by the Klingon commander. However, it's only when Worf loses his temper and challenges his superior that they ''really'' start speaking freely, as Kurn was just doing a SecretTestOfCharacter to find out if Worf shared his Klingon values.
* Something of a StockPhrase for Chakotay towards Captain Janeway on ''Series/StarTrekVoyager''. It may be that as a Maquis leader he has a hard time gauging the Starfleet-appropriate level of formality.

** In the ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'' episode "Jinaal", Tilly asks for permission to speak freely to Commander Rayner before criticising him for prioritising his own mission goals (which someone else is already working on anyway) over the crew bonding exercise he's been directly ordered to do. After she's finished, Rayner points out he ''didn't'' actually grant her permission. Later, after growing increasingly frustrated with his approach to the bonding exercise, she tells him she's going to speak freely whether she has permission or not.

* In the film version of ''Literature/TheCaineMutiny'', Willie is called into Lt. Commander De Vriess' office, where he gets reprimanded for several lapses of duty. Willie, who already had a family member attempt to pull a ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections on his behalf, is resentful for being stuck on a ship like the Caine, but is reluctant to say so until he asks, "Permission to speak freely, sir," and the lieutenant says, "Speak your mind, Keith."

* ''Fanfic/LittleHandsBigAttitude'': After Agent Stone informs the GUN leadership that the latest incident at Green Hills was ''not'' caused by the aliens being aggressive but instead because Commander Walters tried to kidnap a baby, he asks permission to speak freely. When they grant it, he expresses his opinion that Commander Walters is too much of a ImproperlyParanoid [[FantasticRacism racist]] to be assigned on any cases involving aliens, and that the mission parameters are wrong in the first place; if they want to learn the aliens' behavior, they should observe them in the environment they're comfortable instead of capturing them by force. He also volunteers himself for the mission, since it's easy for him to move to a new address. To his shock, GUN leadership actually follows his suggestion.
