Yes there is. /pirate when you have the Pirate ID mounted. Be happy with your Pirate IFF then because you are a pirate!
Thanks, that's good to know!

Fixed it for you.
It's a trick. Legal. Deal with it.

Proof that "veterans" don't like players who actually notice problems.

Eh, okay? This "exploit" how you called it is a well-known thing. If it was a real exploit it would have been removed ages ago. It's really a trick and nothing else.

Well it certainly shouldn't be "legal". There should be no such thing as a Freelancer IFF / Pirate ID if a Pirate IFF exists.

you know what actually shouldn't be legal? Transport police IFF freelancer IDs.
I see those all the time.
But this? No. It makes no difference and must learn to scan a ship. For crying out loud there is a scanner that scans 10k

Try not to act like I would make it personal while you are doing pretty much that. Just because I disagree with you on this trick being a problem doesn't mean I dislike you, but comments like the above can easily get us there.
EDIT: FYI Pirate IFF is a quite recent addition, please excuse old Pirate ID players for not changing their IFF when they are allowed to keep their old one.
Also, non-generic IFFs with generic IDs may also make sense, like a Freelancer ID with Police IFF would mean you are a freelancer closely working with lawfuls. Of course things like Pirate ID with Lawful IFF is a no-no.

It may be harsh, but it's obvious that freelancer IFFed bomber who disrupted trade lane before you doesn't have good intentions.
I learned it the hard way when I was a new player.

Yeah, i can see that he just wants to rip people's money off, and a hegemon aganist a bombard doesnt last too much, i was so pissed off because he ruined my only good quick credit route. Luckly i have met some IMG players that are willing to invite me to their travels once i make a new character.

Yep, IMG is a good faction to start in. You've made a good choice.
