THE HOUSE OF LIBERTY*

• 
  • Smugglers as defined by section 1, part 1 of the law (6,000,000)

My question is this:
If I see a smuggler, inform them of the fact that I am a duly registered bounty hunter with the Liberty Bounty Board, tell them why I am going to be attacking them, and they drop the cargo and I tractor it in, does this count as piracy under the rules as written?

Doesn't that make you a smuggler?

Kinda does, but as long as nobody else registered on the bounty boards finds me, I'm fine.

Yeah, I was mostly making a joke. As far as I'm aware there's nothing against "piracy via bounty-board" at all or there wouldn't be so many indies and factions who do it.

If he drop it/offer to do it himself, it´s fine I think. You just can´t ask him directly or indirectly to drop it, then it would be piracy.

If you're taking the cargo/credits in exchange for not attacking him, then that's against the rules (i.e., give me that cargo or else I'm collecting the bounty). If they just give you the cargo without you saying anything about them dropping it/giving it to you, I don't think that would have anything to do with the bounty and I'd just continue with collecting it as normal

SECTION ONE: CRIME
V. Obstructing the course of justice.

Destroying or stealing cargo from the wreck of an individual who has been destroyed for breaking the law counts as obstructing the course of justice. Evidence must be confiscated by the Primary Fleets, with secondary priority going to the rest of the Liberty forces. Attempts to prevent this action will be considered accordingly. The only exception to this is when the commanding officer on the scene gives verbal exemption to those wishing to scavenge the wreck of a criminal's ship.

Back to the bounty-board informations - If You are registered as bounty Hunter within Liberty House space, then while You facing an Smuggler,
You have right to destroy his ship due blank bounty yet the cargo should be collected by Law representative.
