Doesn't this thread already exist, or am I just being stupid?

Granted, you can "return to the system for the sole purpose of trading", but most people don't. Of course, this relies on you actually engaging the smuggler, which can be harder than it sounds.
I've also never heard of a smuggler being caught by a police or navy, destroyed, and then FR5'd. Usually they're fined first. And if they're fined, they then don't get FR5'd, at least not usually. If you get caught like ten billion times, of course you're going to get FR5'd - it's the closest thing we can do to "arresting" someone, as there's no gameplay way to really do that.
I should also mention I'm talking from the standpoint of Liberty. I haven't a clue how the other Govs or Lawful forces work.
