just that nobody has things under control.
The "cops" in anarchy system usualy belong to the biggest faction. I think they could be explained as mercenaries hired to protect the key points of interest of this major faction. I am quite OK about them, but they should be named different, there is also no bounty on your head, if you kill them.
Not all independnt systems are anarchy, other than anarchy have their own bounties only valid in that system.
That is the whole point of Anarchy, it is down to the individual to control their life and not be controlled by anyone else. Minding your own business...

With the utmost respect I suggest you read a little more about Anarchy then.

Not exactly, no. No wonder why the word is so misused. I won't start a dissert on the subject, as this is not the place, but anarchy does not mean, (and has never meant) "no law". It means, if we need to make a crude sum up, "no authority". A true anarchist society is probably the most regulated, efficient society there is.

No it doesn't. INDEPENDENT means "no jurisdiction from the major factions. Simple.". Independent can be anarchy but can also be something else (democracy, patronage, communism, etc)
ANARCHY means "no government" - you know, like system authority. Now if we really want to get technical about anarchism it could be expected (in anarcho capitalism at least, not so much in other types) that the system faction still protects at least its own members and quite likely external entities as well in its own interest of growth and economic prosperity. Still this should be done through normal ships belonging to that faction and not system authority ships which will have the same behavior as normal cops (e.g. giving you a fine in anarchy system).
However one should note that in game there is no real distinction between several types of anarchism and it is being used as a blanket statement for "system controlled by rogue organizations" (i.e. pirates and smugglers). Unless you're shooting one of their friends they should not care. If you are being shot by someone they should not care either unless you're friendly / allied with and most definitely they should NOT give you fines for doing illegal stuff. Their organization is all about illegal stuff and unlike the government they should be fine with the competition (and in fact recruit you).
Wanted to do some bounty hunting at ressource extraction sites in an anarchy system. Felt lucky when I discovered one whith a Federal Outpost, so I could get my bounties paid. But the RES is crowded with System Authorities. So I dont get a bounty on my head for attacking clean targets and those eagles dont do much harm to my viper, but isnt an anarchy supposed to be free of cops? Thought it would be a good idea to seek an anarchy system for bounty hunting since I believed I wouldnt have trouble with factions and security vessels.
