If there is not a bounty for a BH to chase down then the only thing a BH can do is scan cargo or wait at the office for a escort job to come across the wire.
If he happends to pass by a pirate ripping a trader he should just make sure to avoid the wreckage and ignore the screaming. I will keep this in mind.
So no hiring a BH to protect you while your being attacked, that is for mercs.
But you can hire a BH to escort you just dont wait until after the pirate attacks you.
Dont expect a passing BH to aid you in any way unless you are a bounty hunter and at that I guess BH's should not expect anyone else coming to their aid.

The escort is an option only if agreed upon prior to encountering hostiles.
After engaging hostiles..look for a merc and pray you have enough coin.
I am beginning to see why there are a large amount of pirates.
It seems that they are the only ones that can freely chose to initiate something.
Everyone else requires some prior action to have been taken.
Got it.
Oh dear! Sorry, Raekur, but that is all so melodramatic.

Oh, and as to the origin of bounty hunters, maybe its just me but I would think that the larger source of them would actually come from lawful organizations. They are just individuals who decided they wanted to be their own boss or were tired of having to wait for paperwork to get some scum out of action.
I thought those were the Freelancers.
What doesn't cut it for me is a non-governmental organization, large enough to finance a vast number of warships, engaged in random acts of philanthropy all around Sirius.
