#1 It is a now well founded legal rule of thumb that any penalty for evidence destruction will be lower than the penalties associated with evidence preservation.

To start with, any penalty is based on intentions before the fact, so "ignorance of the law" actually *is* an excuse. Add to that no penalty for a supervisor who "forgot" to tell a subordinate *not* to destroy evidence, and evidence destruction is a joke.
