> because you know what you're discussing is illegal. How can you know that if you are not a lawyer?

  Outside of the fact that's a ridiculous question because I could cite COUNTLESS things the every day man knows is illegal - it's not the point. The point is if you aren't writing stuff down because you BELIEVE what you're discussing is illegal, and it violates your own retention policies - if you aren't outright breaking a law in your state, you're actively engaging in a massive ethics violation.

    Then you should from the start make a policy not to keep any logs. The only use of those logs is to prove that you are guilty so it makes no sense to keep them. Even if you didn't do anything illegal, they can be used against you anyway.

      That's the reasoning behind data retention policies. Lawyers don't see data older than N months. Even if you're not guilty lawyers can be costly when they need to analyze large amounts of data.
