There are some interesting thoughts on bounty hunting here. But no matter what way you set up the bounty system, the potential for exploit is always there. The most reputable bounty hunter corp could be in cahhots with its prey an "always getting a kill" could mean he paid his victim half.

The problem with bounty hunting is only partly the bounty system. Even with an upgraded agent, and you were able to accurately find your prey, it would not help u find their safe spot, prevent them from logging off, or staying docked. Only the unskilled would get killed.( black op frigates will help here)

The problem with bounty hunting has always been few targets, whereas pirates always have lots of targets.

Anyway it only seems to be in EVE that bounty hunters are seen as "good guys" every other fictional space universe they are see as nasty scum who will stoop to whatever lengths to get their kills, so i dont think sec status is realy that important.
