Police Tag Problem

[Ghhyrd]

A while ago, days on Disco frequently consisted of flying to good ol' Colorado in my CSV and mining silver. And then running back to Manhatten from angry Xenos :mellow:

Untill I bought my lovely transport and decided I would begin hauling in bulk.

However it surprised me when I hit level 40 and bought my Freelancer ID to go on a run into Buffalo base and haul 800K in diamonds out only to be destroyed by an Outcast player. I was furious because not only was this in NY, but it was completely out of RP too- I was a Freelancer, minding my own business, almost freindly with outcasts. I asked him why he attacked me, only to respond saying that my tag said that I was Liberty Police. I had been aware of this since pre- level 40, but I thought that this tag would be replaced with 'Freelancers' when I bought my ID.

It obviously wasn't, so I asked around for answers to how I could replace it with 'Freelancers'. I tried to decrease my rep with the Police by aborting missions and taking bribes from enemys of them but somehow (despite my rep being higher with LSF, Navy and many others) I still show up as police. How can I change this? Could I find Freelancer missions or bribes and do them or do I have to do this some other way?
