It's the age old argument of "smugglers shouldn't be seen" vs "no interaction is bad" which is further reinforced by smugglers losing both cargo and credits for being caught. The compromise isn't my idea but was thought up by someone in one of the many smuggler threads.

The idea was if smugglers got caught the police could escort the smuggler to a sellpoint for whatever contriband and then issue a fine based upon the amount so smugglers dont face a double loss and still get a small profit plus some fun for the police. E.g. An artifact smuggler gets caught in Liberty, the LPI fly him to Denver to "confiscate" his 3000 cargo and issue a fine for 7-8 million, leaving the smuggler with 4 to 3 million in profit compared to the 11 mill made by not being caught.

This way smugglers arent punished for daring to be seen and police get to actively hunt without destroying their own source of activity.
