We ever going to get your opinion?

Sounds pretty accurate.
But you can respect someone who doesn't respect you specifically (like, if they don't even know you or whatever).

Or if they're dead.

respect is earned and felt, otherwise it's pretended undeserved flattery. but no i think non-mutual respect is still respect. and nobody has given any reason why it shouldn't be.

Not really, I'd argue that you're respecting their role and that the role gives them a certain amount of authority or ... wisdom ... perhaps.
For example, I have a tendency to automatically respect old ladies. Thing is, what I'm respecting that their advanced age means they are liable to have more life experience than me.
You don't respect a police officer you don't know as a person. You respect the uniform and the badge as trappings of the job's authority as an enforcer of the law.
