I think this is a great idea, but I'm curious... -- so I'm playing devil's advocate with this question -- Couldn't there be some risk that it would be tough to build a case against someone involved in illegal activity? Like how much harder is it to build a case against CP offenses with only access to two weeks of logs?

There's no way to answer that question broadly, since it depends on which other sources of information law enforcement can consult in a given case.

For what it's worth, unless you retain data forever, it's always possible to delete it the day before you need it.
