Vaguely speaking I agree, but it's not really that simple. Should reporting about crime be fine if you need to illegally access a document that proves the crime happened? What if to get the info you need to murder many people, should that still be legal because you're doing it for the sake of reporting on a crime? Unless you think the second is just as acceptable. suddenly it's less simple and you need to plan for all the possible ways that various laws might be broken in an entirely ethical task of reporting about a much bigger crime.
