They have a pirate ID, and they violate server rules by violating that ID by pirating and also fighting with the KNF.
It makes no sense RP wise to me that the AFA gets the protection of the lawfuls while engaging in piracy and murder against innocent traders. It's not like the KNF doesn't know the AFA are pirates.
They should be allowed to pirate, or to be lawful, but not both.
