I agree that there should be some mechanism to VOLUNTARILY report or turn over illegal goods. This would allow you to avoid fines and relations penalties, and perhaps even improve relations in some cases (such as actively freeing slaves). Maybe something to “flag” illegal cargo, to be reported or turned-in the next time you're in a “civilized” sector, so that if you happen to be scanned by a military ship, they simply see that you have cargo already intended for the authorities, so they can just offer to collect it since they're already near you (instead of practically arresting you for carrying illegal cargo). A two-fold solution, would be a mechanism to set collection behavior of dangerous / illegal goods. [*]Don't collect cargo above a predefined hazard level at all. [*]Collect cargo below a certain hazard level, but automatically flag it for return to authorities (if applicable). [*]Collect all cargo, regardless of hazard level, and don't worry about flags.

Great idea, but I think it could be solved easier. We could just have the opportunity to free slaves, making them part of our crew or simply disapear (or even become a new type of cargo we can hand over to any station or ship).
