Real easy solution. After your sec status hits -5 say 10 times you start losing the ability to regain sec status. So once you hit -5 the 11th time you can no longer get to 10 rating but only to a 9. On the 12th time you hit -5 it drops to 8, and so on until you are permanently at -10. That's a lot of leeway to misbehave, and hey you can still do as you please but have to accept the consequences.
This game is about risk, reward, and consequences. But as a part of consequences, its also possible to gain redemption in the eyes of the law.
And the law, is just another corporation like the rest of them. They can be bought off. The judges also realize that 'hey, this guy is really making an effort to get in our good graces, maybe we can let him back into empire'.
Just like an addict, folks may slip. But there is always the hope of redemption and acceptance back into the fold of good galactic citizens.
And we're *pod pilots* for pete's sakes... Gods among the teeming billions of mere mortals. In the entire universe, there are only a few hundred thousand of us. Trading, manufacturing, making the universe better so your relatives can watch holoreels and drive fancy cars and eat crab legs. Without us the universe falls into barbarism. So we get to be above the law. It's why we are afforded cloning technology that is well beyond the means of most planet bound worms. And why killing one of us in space is not a problem. Because you get to wake up with your personality intact, and continue on. Nothing is lost by your death in space. Nothing that a planetary justice system would take note of anyhow.
Life's not fair. Get over it. EvE is even less fair. The gentlemen in question have accepted the consequences...and paid their dues, grinding their security status over weeks to get back to the point where they can once again wreak havoc in the paradise you like to call Empire. We like to call it our playground.

LOL please.
Grinding a few rats is not consequences. I love how you hypocrites tote the "consequences of EVE" and "Risk vs. Reward" but there is no risk in losing Sec status though piracy whatsoever. You turn around and kill a few rats making millions of isk in the process and its as if you never did anything wrong. That's not consequence, that's "go farm something else for a bit". Throw this in and maybe I'll say grinding rats is consequence, if your status drops below -4.9 then you get zero bounties on rats until you reach a positive status, you're sacrificing the ISK to regain your status.
Nobody is preventing you from doing what you want just attaching real consequences to your actions. The truth is you want risk & consequences for others and not yourself, when someone suggest that you cry, whine, flame, and start bandying the old "carebear" around.
