Instead of a possible "his word against her word" you have a situation where you can have evidence that proves you were at fault. Are you legally required to turn over evidence that can incriminate you?

Is a banker required to turn over his accounting ledgers when being investigated for fraud and corruption? You betcha, Red Rider!
