but paying the fine would probably mean he would add that to your criminal register . One of my ideas was if a lawfull company could smuggle, and bribe to keep it off the records.

I'd accept a bribe!
Also, if you pay a fine, you'll also have to drop your cargo/leave the House in case you're a cap/drop or sell illegal equipment.

"I'd accept a bribe!" I'm happy to hear that .
"Drop your cargo" this is another thing i would like to avoid with the bribe, soo i will try bribing myself off some day from now on.

The best way to find out if a lawful character will accept a bribe, is to bribe them.
This won't always go well, but that's part of what makes roleplaying interesting.

Yeah, agreed.

It exists, some players accepts bribes. There's nothing against it.
LPI- accepting bribes?
Bribery is an awfully dirty word. I like to think of them as donations.
A generous donation can make lots of problems go away.

That is quite cruel... but is it allowed?
Would be hard to explain where the money came from if the criminal rats you out.
You dont understand...
pirate gives bribe to cop and cop accepts it
can cop still pretend to accept it since he is greedy and then be like NOPE still arresting you. ?
Nom, you are an obvious vet of the game, and you darn well know that move, even if it managed to pass as abiding within the rules, is a complete troll move. And anyone who says otherwise is a troll.

Except most corporate IDs state that you can't engage in unlawful activity....which smuggling would fall under. If you wanna smuggle, be a Freelancer or a Junker.

For the purposes of ID restrictions, smuggling has never been counted as an unlawful activity. Shipping commodities is trading, whatever side of player-created laws it happens to fall on. Basically, lawful corporations can smuggle without being sanctioned, but the roleplay consequences are on their head if they're caught.
A good example is when Gateway, and much later Bowex, were caught smuggling Black Market Munitions to Planet Leeds. We got chewed out by the BPA, but the admins didn't turn our bank accounts inside out.
Think about it this way - some commodities are contraband in some houses and not others. Scales of grey is a part of the appeal of Freelancer and by extension this mod. It would seem slightly arbitrary if you were suddenly opened up to an ID violation sanction because you happened to cross a border and infringe a frankly malleable player written law (see when Rheinland completely removed regulated cargo licensing).

My BHG character is always open to being bribed by his targets. It's allowed to offer bribes and accept bribes by any character.
