House Police and Borderworlds

[Guyton]

Curious discussion here just to properly gather community thoughts on the matter. Purely what I've witnessed as of late gave me means to clarify House Police and their neighboring Independent systems. Running about the lanes during the day as usual I noticed yet another questionable sight.

An individual roleplaying as House Police entered an Independent system where even the Military Faction is restricted to without permission. Of course I assumed he was there for the fact the Military Faction had an obvious presence within the system. Suddenly he opened fired upon a base he claimed to be "Illegally Constructed" . Well it rather worked me up a little I decided to investigate exactly his faction's ZOI regarding the Independent System.

On his faction information it stated he was restricted to House territory which was 2 full systems in the direction from which he came. Therefore I further investigated the Military Faction's information regarding their ZOI. It stated that their influence restricted them from the Borderworlds unless authorized or escorted by a higher ranking officer. I assumed it would be in the right for them to be present in the system. Even so the House they represented obviously 2 systems away only enforced law in the neighboring system exactly 1 system away , that system was also considered Borderworlds neighboring yet another Independent system which connects them to the second one the very edge of the House's ability to govern law.

With even the military being so restricted to their ZOI I didn't understand what allowed the Police faction to be authorized to travel the Borderworld's and enforce law in an unlawful area as an excuse to remove a player base or engage an individual. Is it OORP for a Police Faction to leave their House's Core Worlds or neighboring Independent system? Is it also OORP or against server rules to enforce laws where a system is deemed unlawful/independent where there is no documentation to claim or where law exists?
