While I agree that it may be a moral responsibility to cooperate with the "good" of law enforcement, the issue is more complex.
For one, law enforcement is not always "good". Rodney King.Floyd Dent.Julian Assange.Aaron Swartz. The list is long.
Second, the moral imperative to cooperate with law enforcement is not the only moral obligation one has. An adult have a moral responsibility to his wife, children and family, as well. Even US law recognizes that the bond between husband and wife is stronger than cooperation with the law.
