I enter the space station, I get blasted by lasers, why?

You can pay off your bounties too, via the security desk at the station services menu.

There are five possibilities for getting shot at by the station I can think of.
1. Failure to get permission from the station to dock. The station shoots anything coming in the entrance that doesn't have permission.
2. Loitering at the entrance. Going too slow or stopping at the entrance and thus blocking it triggers a lethal response.
3. Pad Loitering. This is blocking a pad that's not yours, triggers a lethal response.
4. Failure to leave within the time limit. If you launch and take too long to leave then the station shoots you.
5. Being scanned and coming up as "Wanted" in that jurisdiction. You can be tagged as Wanted if you have a bounty for crimes. If you are carrying stolen goods and it is reported then you get a bounty.

Sounds like probably #5 in your situation. You may have briefly seen a bounty amount on your head briefly appear after you were scanned and before you got toasted.

To ferry stolen goods you have to try to get in the dock without being scanned and that requires awareness of where the security vessels are and some speed to zoom in quick. It also is possible to quickly get in and dock and get down in the safety of the hangar even if you are being shot at. Be sure to clear that bounty at the office.

I had this happen in Eranin (Communist) yesterday. I had previously paid off all fines with no warrants and had successfully requested docking. I had 4 tons of Aluminium on board and my ship was scanned approaching the entrance when I was suddenly attacked. I didn't even make it to the entrance before I was blown up and the message said I was destroyed by Azeban City. As someone else said, it would have been good to explain why I was attacked by the station.
