Ethical Quandry

Because it is close, I could do some investigative reporting on the Allen Park suicide. I imagine that I could file a FOIA request for the police file. Would that be wrong?

Update: I spoke with our chief of police last night, and he assures me that FOIA for crime files is routine in every police department. He says that he's certain the file I want has been provided to the public before. So I am going to send a FOIA request.
