An unintended mechanic of the Justice System?

I have discovered what might be an unintended mechanic of the Justice System that has really deepened my immersion! I wasn't quite liking the aura that surrounds everyone now so I went into the setting menu and turned all the auras off. The only time someone has a glowing outline now is if I can loot their body for something. I personally do NOT want to kill innocents, but I kept the option on for my own personal gameplay's sake. I've been having fun and there is a development I've been noticing...
I don't know who are innocent NPCs and who are enemy Mobs.
I mean, I KNEW I wouldn't know before... I knew I wouldn't know when I turned the auras off, but the other day it hit me how that lack of knowledge has altered my gameplay significantly.
Once, shortly after the justice system began, I ran up on a camp and killed one of the people there... one of the innocents. I felt terrible and I got a bounty because of it. I paid my fine to the law and vowed to try to be more careful. This has lead me to approach each and every wilderness camp with a sense of caution. Finger at the ready... anticipating the need to draw my weapon. I wonder "Is this one a friend... or a foe?". I never know until I get up close and try to talk to them. They either greet me, or draw their weapon.
It's an amazing application of the Justice System and I don't know if it was intended, but thank you @ZOS_MandiParker! I don't want to steal and I don't want to kill, but this little addition to the game has made my enjoyment of ESO increase multiple times over! So, thank you!

Majic✭✭✭✭✭If you enable Settings/Interface/Healthbars, you can see who's who, but many players prefer not to know, and it does indeed make encountering strangers more unpredictable.
Just like in the real world.

Red - enemy and hostile
Yellow - neutral until attacked
White - friendly until attacked
