Lockdown + Anarchy = Odd

Anyone else been in an anarchy system in lockdown by the ruling (criminal) faction and thought it's all a bit weird?

I'm in a system ruled by an independent criminal faction, who is in a state of lockdown. A bit of background, I used to dump my illegal goods (and pick up illegal goods) for the system I work in, and I also took to, well, getting on the wrong side of this faction recently, taking out pirate ships for bounties and generally being a nusiance (trying to improve Imperial influence in the system).

So now the system is in lockdown, there's checkpoints, fair enough, and System Authority Vessels interdicting me and scanning me (SAV is a bit weird for criminals who've never cared about enforcing law to date, but whatever). But then one of these SAV's (belonging to said criminal faction) scans me, finding stolen imperial slaves (from a recent victim), and surprisingly fines me! 10k credit fine issued by some pirates, for having stolen goods on board. Oh the irony.

I don't really care about the fine, I'm stirring the pot here anyway, but I guess the point of a "Lockdown" state is to try and improve security in the system,, but the whole thing feels a bit nonsensical when it's being enforced by none other than pirates...

They are not really pirates in an arggg kill everyone. Its a misnomer.

If the system is in lockdown they are stopping weapons etc coming in as a revolution or war is possible. So i guess slaves are illegal in the "pirate" station. Hence why they fined you. They were not looming for slaves but still got you when they found them.

Rather than pirates they should just be anarchic or dictator station. But thats even more complicated for people to get.

You would prolly find in game that the station even pretends to be legit. Caus if it was a pirate station killing everyone it would be blown out of space.

Imagine them more like i dunno. Mafia station. They still have rules.

Nope. These slaves are perfectly legal in the system. The only illegal good is "Toxic Waste". The only problem with them is my slaves are marked as "stolen".

I get your point, but they've never cared for the tonnes of stolen goods I've walked right in their front door before. Just feels like a little oversight when implementing lockdowns, since they spawn system authority vessels, which don't usually exist for outlaw factions.
