Police bounty & rewards for destroying non-enemy ships in border sectors

Cycrow posted previously:

Generally the main waring races are enemies with each other and hostile towards thier allies
So Argon is enemy to Paranid and hostile to Spilt.

This means that Paranid are not welcome in any Argon sector, but Split are only not welcome in Core sectors

Is it intended behavior then that the player is awarded a Police bounty for destroying enemies that are (only) hostile in border sectors?

For instance, I spent a bit of time in Aladna Hill, an Argon border sector. Argon NPC police and military actively target and destroy Paranid ships trying to make a run through (intended), and leave Split ships alone (intended); but the player is awarded a Police bounty for taking out both Paranid and Split, the latter of which might not be intended?

Additionally: What is the reason I gain Pirate rep when destroying Split ships in Pirate sectors (even without bounty license)? The factions are neutral to each other, so is it just a special case of "pirates like chaos", or something else?

Right now you can actually get a bounty for every ship thats not friendly with the faction.
If you go and kill a OTAS ship in a teladi border sector you actually get a bounty.
However if you kill it in a core sector it *might* call for help and you will have a teladi M2 opening fire on you.
