Scanner that incorporates real-time communication with multiple law enforcement networks to obtain all issued bounties.

— In-Game Description

A Kill Warrant Scanner is mounted on the utility mount of your ship and needs to be assigned to a fire group, just like a weapon. It can be used to scan a targeted ship for bounties gained from other jurisdictions. This means for targets who already have a bounty it might increase. Other targets who show as having a clean status may gain a bounty after being scanned. For others there will be no change if they have committed no crime(s).

Be warned - using this scanner is usually considered to be suspicious behavior (the scan target will often times attempt to maneuver away from you)! The target is always alerted when you initiate a scan on their ship.

Usage

You need to be within range (depends on scanner quality) of your target to activate the scanner. Holding the fire button down will initiate a scan and the button must be kept pressed until the scan completes. You also have to stay in range of your target, or the scan will be interrupted. A lot of the time when a target knows they are being scanned they try to get away, especially if they're guilty. Always be prepared for a hot chase with the scanner activated!

Note: the Target panel only shows the Clean/Wanted status in the current system - any extra bounties are visible only in the Contact tab. Furthermore, attacking a ship that is not Wanted in the current system is illegal in policed systems.
