I definitely noticed it after the switch to 4.86 at some point. I was flying in Rheinland and suddenly the BS next to Bonn flipped red on me. Luckily I was able to hide behind Bonn.
I like having BHG npcs hostile with me as a Junker. I imagine a lot of people would want to put money on me, especially after the poker incident in Leeds. But because it makes all the lawfuls flip hostile, I've had to get my BHG rep to neutral.
