I kind of agree with majkp here, Bounty Hunters don't actively enforce menial laws against things like smuggling. That's the work of police and military. Usually, a Bounty Hunter's only source of income is that from hunting bounties. Taking contraband from a smuggler isn't a lawful action for a Bounty Hunter, it's like a mercenary stealing crack from a drug dealer. Taking smuggled goods is pirating for anyone except police and military.

Thats how i see it, BH's wouldn't bother with sitting in Alaska and stopping smugglers when they come past, the simple reason is they are NOT getting paid for doing it and thats the BH's main objective.

I don't quite understand it to be honest, when they drop it what do you do? because if you pick that up and sell it yourself then that would be an unlawful act, and if you destroy it you get nothing out of it so i don't see the point, BH's wouldn't do the job of the police without getting paid, unless they like blowing up trade ships that is.
