It is illegal to ask you to delete photos, a policeman would need a court order (and he would have to convince the court there is good reason) to be able to destroy your property.
delete them and keep them happy (delete them in the camera but don't reformat the card)
then just undelete them using drive rescue or rescue pro. you will probably find loads of really old images on there that you thought were long gone.
