I would like to remind you it happened just outside battleship Schwerin. So even if we will go with your "wild west idea", it still happened in that one small piece of space where Rheinland is enforcing its authority including laws.
Also, I wonder why some people including you got stucked with 4.84 lore and refuse to consider there might be some changes. That there is something like environment development. Bretonia lost several systems in last two game updates. That is real for you? Then fact that O-7 and O-3 are no longer a deserted lawless space (at least on the lanes and near them) should be too.

This in ingame reality means that if trader asks me for protection on his way through Omega-7, this will happen: Everyone knows that escorting sucks, only effective way of protection is scouting. But if I find hostile (pirate/Corsair/Hessian) sitting on a lane, I can´t engage him. Oh, I even can´t engage him when he starts insulting me and mock me. And actually he can even go harass me with CDs, waiting for his buddies to make "balanced fight" (read gank)...AND I STILL CAN´T ENGAGE HIM because CDing is not engaging (pirates know what I mean, they went through it after their ID was nerfed).
But let´s assume I won the fight. I´m returning now to Stuttgart when smuggler cross my path. With cargo bay full of slaves or cardamine or whatever. What can I do? Only smile at him, wave and wish him safe flight. What a great police officer I am.
Is now more clear what kind of absurd situation this will create?
