Collection Limpets and Illegal Wares while material farming

I love to RES hunt. Its a good place to farm several engineering goods. It is good income. It is good quick fun for between after work and dinner. It is great for testing loadouts and upgrades.

Is there anyway to prevent cargo drones from grabbing illegal wares dropped by dying pirate ships? I can't stop a free roaming limpet from grabbing them, I get a fine for having them, and I get a fine for dropping things I didn't want in the first place.

IF my "ship computer" knows the ware is illegal (it tells me so on the screen when I target it), I should be able to keep the limpets from grabbing it in the first place.

I'm sure this has been suggested lots, but a forum search got no hits.
 
You can set put the targets on the ignore list already.

The problem with that solution is that certain items are illegal in some systems but not in others. Battle weapons are a great example of items prohibited in most systems, but not all. As Floyd mentioned, the ship computer can identify if an item is illegal, so it would make sense to have an option to disable the automatic collection of illegal items.
