its a bug or its a feature - illegal commodities

[Tamien]

the system "Tau-2 Gruise" is controlled from our beloved slaver mom Zemina Torval.
and on the station "Station Thomas" its possible to buy imperial slaves for a really good price on the normal market. but imperial slaves are also illegal on this station.
the station is controlled from a independent fraction (democracy).

its okay, when this fraction forbids imperial slaves, but i dont understand why the slaves then are sold on this station as a normal commodity!
where is the logic?

There is very little logic to it, have seen it noted by various people a number of times now. If they are cheap take advantage of it lol. Silent running and boost like hell out of the station until you clear no-fire/mass-lock.

It's not a bug, but an unintended result of powerplay not completely or partially overwriting local jurisdiction (overwriting they can't be sold, but not overwriting the illicit tag.
