Any way to clear bounties without going jailpaying fine?

...not that I mind playing the part of a fugitive/honourable companion. But some of these blur the lines between bug and crime.
So initially the botched assasination attempt in the DB netted me 3 murders for dispatching the Occulatus Penitwhasit agents who were physically body blocking my escape from the bridge. That's fair enough +3k haafinger. Later, a Solitude guard pulled an oblivion and psychicly tracked me across the border into Morthal territory, I saw a guard fighting a troll so I rescued him... turned out he was a haafinger guard, he attacked me near morthal and I had to kill him in plain sight of a patrol. +1k morthal
Now, I walked into Markarth (I've long finished Cidna mine), and a set of guards told me they would set me up for some murders, just because, after which all the nearby guards immediatly attacked me (Resulting in 2 more "murders" in my escape and self defence) +3k Reach.
Obviously this is making things awkward when questing - if this keeps up, soon there won't be a hold I can visit without drawing aggro xD. I'd sooner slaughter every last nord in the reach than go to jail for their false accusations or put more gold into their coffers though. And if solitude thinks they can send their agents to come assasinate me in other holds and then turn that hold against me they can think again... but is there any in-game-in-character-options besides joining the thieves guild and bribing the guards or using the console (Which is not really in character)
