This is not some hypothetical issue, here at The SCORE Group, we have had the FBI and other law enforcement agencies request to see documentation more times than I can count from memory. We fax copies of the documentation and the matter ends.
Model releases are also important to protect yourself from lawsuits. SCORE also gets inquiries from models all the time who want to explore litigation over the publication of their photos. Having a model release which clearly defines their rights ends these types of inquiries immediately.
This is not just about being in compliance with laws that could put us in jail, having documentation prevents law enforcement and lawsuits from interfering and consuming time and staffing resources.

But apparently the law is different if you work from home or at least some people seem to think it is.
