Even if you do have access to insider information it should be (in my opinion) still legal to trade the stock.

There should instead be restrictions on the time for an order to go through, not on the act of insider trading.

Insiders are allowed to trade, however there are time limits. Plans to buy or sell must be disclosed well in advance and black out periods can apply.
