I picked up an unexplained 100Cr bounty overnight. Apparently while I was docked and logged out. The only thing I can think of that might have resulted in a fine is that I 'got between' the station and a rogue AI ship that was being killed while I was in the final stages of docking. In fact, I had no control of the ship as 'Docking Successful, engines disengaged' was sounding as lasers erupted around me. Last report from the computer was 'under attack' as another ship drifted into view next to my landing pad and exploded.
No other shots hit me as the landing pad retracted. This morning, I leave the station and notice that I am WANTED. Why? What in the blue blazes did I do aside from getting caught in the crossfire?
Anyway, this story sets the stage for this feature request. In the STATUS tab, I'd love to see a conditional page for fines and bounties. It wouldn't show unless there was something against the pilot.
If not there, then perhaps in the contact pages when you go to pay off the fine/bounty similar to the Cartographic listing of systems & data. I understand that there is a listing in the TRANSACTIONS tab for fines, but once it becomes a warrant... nothing but a big red WANTED tag.
Either way, have to pay, but at least there would be an explanation. Perhaps, players could choose what warrant to pay for instead of all at once.

- 50Cr Fine for [blocking that anti-loiterer shot, you cad! Pay up, now or it'll be a 100Cr warrant on you, boyo!]
- 10,000 Cr Warrant [for murder of System Authority vessel (that decided to claim that 100Cr Warrant)]
- etc.
