Question about unlawfull ID

[RSA Nico]

Good day

Just something i do not understand about wording in some ID's.

One point states.

Can attack any ships within their Zone of Influence, except transports.

And then just below that one it goes.

Can demand cargo and credits from any ship within their Zone of Influence, and attack them if they do not comply.

Ok now this is the senario that played off ingame with my transport. In O-11 i was being filled by a indie miner when n Red Hessian ship poped up. He demanded tax from miner for mining field and told met to leave field so i engaged cruise. The miner left and he cd me and started shooting me and i ask him to stop. He said it was stupid to run. Anycase i asked him what he wanted and while busy tranfering funds he destroyed me. Ok i was peed off at that moment because of his bad and confusing RP but wat i want to know is, does the id spec not counterdict itself as what i have qouted above?

I just want some clarity as im not clear on what ID states or if he (Hessian) was in the wrong? Feel like an idiot for asking but just want to know for future.

Thanks
