Does this mean murdering someone doesn't carry the same penalty as parking my spaceship slightly incorrectly now?

Violations are just like, well, this is like a parking ticket, right? You've got to pay it. And then certain violations are like, yeah, people are coming after you.

Well, we've introduced the concept of a jurisdiction, which is really just an area of space that specifies what laws apply within that area and the associated penalties.

If you have a parking violation on Hurston, you don't have bounty hunters chasing you all over.

That's exactly it. Law enforcement would only care about you in proximity to Hurston.
