Power security in very strange places

So I just gotta ask if this is normal.

I have my carrier parked in a system we were collecting things from, me and my friend. A power security ship decided to appear and start attacking both of us, and you know, okay, power fighting, I get it. Except we're not in a system associated with the power, it is camping near our carrier, and defending ourselves even after we're shot first counts as a criminal offense we get obliterated for, by our own carrier.

I feel like something has been badly calculated in the system to allow your ship to get camped like this, especially as it ended up costing my friend the type 9 she just bought and putting her dangerously close to not having the rebuy (probably shouldn't have purchased it so close to the edge but what're you gonna do).
 
Power ships certainly can appear outside (but near) Power space - both in Acquisition targets and in systems slightly further out than that.

But they should be getting a bounty in that case if they fire first (assuming you hadn't turned crime reporting off for some reason)
