Bounty and Notoriety for attacking a wanted ship

Hello everybody, I need to be enlightened about the new crime and punishment system.

Even though I have been playing Eliter over a year, I'm not in combat often, but every once in awhile I like to jump in my Anaconda and do some bounty hunting or doing some Lord assassination missions.

Yesterday, I interdicted a wanted ship, opened fire on it, destroyed it, and a bounty of about 5000 cr was raised against me. I went to an interstellar factor but I wasn't able to pay it, because my notoriety was raised to 1, so I have to wait 2 hours... up to this point the new system is quite clear.

The thing that I don't understand is why I gained a bounty for attacking a wanted ship? How can I bounty hunt if I get a bounty on my own ship if I attack a wanted one?
What about bounty hunting in the nav beacons?

Thank you and sorry for the noob question....
