Think about on the basis of need...

Situational ethics as you describe (basis of need) would best suit a Chaotic Good character, who strives for the greater good and is quite willing to break the law. Rationalized theft also works for a Neutral Good character who occassionally must break the law in order to further the greater good. For the NG character, this would probably require a more extreme case, such as stealing a loaf of bread to feed a starving child. Lawful Good characters (and this is just for role-play and the sake of an argument) would never break the law because, to them, any and all good begins with law and honor. Lawful Good characters would rather die than lose honor. I know it's quite a dogmatic position, but LG is that kind of alignment.
Of course anyone can play however they want. I'm just throwing in my unsolicited opinion.
