Rule Discussion: Smugglers and Lawful interaction, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4,

[Giorgio]

As a sidenote, something should be done about the "levy fines" line on independent police IDs. Right now it makes zero sense for an indie police officer to accept a bribe from a smuggler. Why? Because when a smuggler gets fined, the fine ends up in the police players pocket instead of going to some kind of an inRP fund of fines. It should be more viable for a police officer to accept a bribe of 7-8 millon at some frequency nstead of fining the smuggler 10-20 million since those 7-8 million end up in his pocket instead of going to the inrp fund of fines.

Smuggling profits in general are really low, especially considering most people smuggle in ships with 4.3k cargo or less. Even if one were to smuggle in a corporate 5ker, it makes more sense to just haul mineable commodities from POBs to distant bases and make around the same hourly without all the complications that come with smuggling. The smuggling profits should be higher than ore hauling profits.
