Sold goods on the BM - did that make you hostile to the controlling faction? II.e. have you been doing that a lot?) If you do have a bad reputation they won't let you dock, and could well decide you are not welcome.
I have used it alot prob that then. CHEERS
The 'Status' screen in the right-hand ship panel shows your Reputation with all the current system's factions.
Cheers

Yeah, if you have a high bounty with a faction any ship or station controlled by that faction will kill you on sight. I have already been shot at while docked because I was scanned while on the pad. So if you go to request docking and it says some stuff in red check to see that it's just a fine so you don't get ganked.
Or, don't be naughty 
Interesting - I didn't think NPCs would scanned you whilst docked - it would be pretty hilarious if a CMDR scanning you caused the station to take you out
I had similar happen once when still docked having taken on a nervous passenger - got scanned (presumably by a CMDR) and the passenger immediately failed the mission on 'too many scans' - oh how I laughed Deleted member 38366

Any Authority NPCs will cease scanning (or abort an active scan) the very Moment the Ship passes the entry of a Station.
Even at an Outpost, an NPC will cease action as soon as the Player docks on the Pad - the NPC will loiter around and begin triggering scans onto other NPC Ships arriving or departing.
The only Vessels capable of scanning a docked Ship are other Players.
In the distant Past, Player-scans were relayed to security and could indeed ruin a Smuggler's day.
However, I believe the "instant Security Relay" by a Player Cargo Scan are long over (?)
(it used to be a big thing by the usual crowd in the typical places, but AFAIK this isn't possible anymore - just like KWS'ing a Wanted NPC in the presence of Authority NPCs doesn't cause an instant Aggro by the Station/Security anymore as it did in the very distant past).
The Journal might yield the only clue, but Black Market trading - for all I know - does not negatively affect local Reputation at all.
I could only think of an old bug that used to haunt Open Play in busy instances - local Rep of a Station suddenly switching from {Anything} to Hostile, similar to Stations changing owning Factions and other related weird quirks.
Unsure though if that years old bug still occurs - but if so, it would represent the only way to become hostile while docked, since there's no other way - short of scraping another Ship >100m/sec and managing to settle onto the Pad a second before the hit Ship blows up. But even that could be fixed by a relog.
