I think there should be engineering for cargo bays or perhaps some pirate faction that you could obtain smuggling bays from. Reduced capacity but insulated from scanning, or something to that effect. -- OR perhaps a jammer for a utility mount to prevent scanning. (Jammer alone might show no info or show jammed. Jammer with engineering could show fake data or look like an NPC or something. --

My question is, if you are a police officer and you find out you've been actively hindered in your investigation, wouldn't that make it even more suspicious?
I'd prefer something like "shielded cargo bays", that make scans take longer. Maybe show nothing if you scan normally except the scan taking a bit longer, but if you continue to scan (or get much closer, <250m?), it shows "shielded cargo detected" or similar, which is a fineable offense (might get you even wanted in high security systems). NPCs could usually just do a normal scan, with a small chance (modified by system security level) for a prolonged/close range scan.
