[1.25 and onward] Illegal scanning

1.25 Eng. No mods. or hacks.

I keep being accused of illegal scanning of both ships and stations, when no scanning option is selected. I have all the available police licences.

Edit: Title updated to reflect an ongoing problem.

Diddo!

Don't know if this a bug or the game trying to give some kind of authoritarian aspect to Plutarch?

I keep getting warnings of illegal activities and improper scanning, but I have no idea why or whom by, as my "Logbook" fails to log such important information. I do have a police scanner, but I've only used it when I did a single Anti-Smuggler Operation mission.

I've even been put on a black list by someone, but again I don't know who. I have 14+ ratings with every faction (including PMC) except the pirate ones (e.g. Syndicate). I'm doing the plot, but still haven't gotten to the war portion.

I should note that I have a Law Enforcement License with both PMC and HoA.

Save game started with 1.30 RC3, currently on 1.30 (final).

Yes, it's the wrong message. They're trying to tell you about the illegal wares in your hold, but the NPC doing the talking doesn't have the right line.

Confirmed sold the illigal wares & not had any ilegal scan messages in about 2hours of game play

Same, had two Hacker Chips in my cargohold and after selling them, no issue.

@CBJ,

May we have the Logbook at least contain the correct entry so that we can know why we're in trouble, even if the NPC is missing the audio?

Hold contains nothing for which a licence is not held.
Just completed a scan mission, during which:

'oh how did that get in there', the craft did not turn red.

'I'm going to reports your illegal scanning activities', I hold all the necessary licences and I'm carrying out a mission for the correct station.

'Ok you got me this time, there's enough to go around', the craft did not turn red.

Towards the end of the mission, I scanned the last craft, but due to the lag of the mission, I had already scanned an extra craft, who's occupant rightly complained, not having an on screen counter makes this kind error very likely, with the script/mission update being so slow.

Yet to have a single crafts signature turn red, or try and make a run for it.
