If you are worried about getting scanned and attacked over your bounty an easy way to take care of it is to just go to a low security system (there is usually one close by) and pay it off at the Interstellar Factors contact.
When do stations attack you?
- Thread starter Nerix
- Start date
I miss the psycopathic killer DM stations. 
Right! Silly me. I'd forgotten about that once since i never got the chance to bother anyone off this much. Thank You.
Down to Earth Astronomy has a video in which he debunks the idea that deploying hardpoints (or chaff) interrupts a scan:
Debunking starts at seven minutes in.
Heatsinks do break scans. I've never seen a scan complete if I dropped a heatsink on being scanned.
AFAIK, you don't get attacked if caught (scanned) carrying illicit cargo, only wanted passengers. For cargo, you just get fined. Ukless there's a higher threshold of illicit cargo that I haven't encountered yet.
For passengers, obviously you have to watch out for "Criminal Mastermind" types, but sometimes a "Rich Tourist" can catch you out if it mentions in the small print "may be wanted in multiple systems".

Pretty sure not - and you can earn good ARX for being scanned with illicit goods
The big red 'WANTED' you get when you have illegals onboard is a clue
So not hunted pirates that? got a neighbouring system where we go hunting the alot, so I am usually at a constant "Hostile" relation with the pirate faction, which means, they now come after me when they notices me... so pirates comes to me... and of course when they owned stations, I was not allowed to dock and do repair/refuel....
rumor has it that if you have small seismic charges fitted & your scanned by the station it will open fire.
Then i strongly suggest these be removed from the game and never added back
