Arrested...REALLY?!

So, here I was, making a legal run between Sothis and Ceos, when I was interdicted by another eager pirate. The battle commenced and, as we fought, the local authorities arrived and started attacking the pirate as well. Great, I thought...this will be over in a few seconds. BUT....as my laser turrets were locked onto the pirate, constantly firing into their shields, A POLICE VESSEL FLEW INTO MY LINE OF FIRE. My laser hit his shield, and he reported that I was FIRING on HIM. REALLY?! Suddenly, I found myself wanted with a 200 credit fine. So, with a sigh, I abandoned the fight and flew to Sothis Mining, to pay the fine. After landing, I headed over to the station, WHERE I WAS ARRESTED AND SENT TO PENATENT, over 16 jumps from where I was. There, I paid the fine, but had to set course back to Sothis Mining. I guess this new crime/punishment system the "Bubble" has introduced doesn't allow for police idiotcy.
