The need in this case is to preserve them for evidence in a trial. I don't think that even having them in the phone would be admissible due to possible tampering. However I do think that the saved version would be enough for a judge to allow a subpoena to the carrier.
Of course if you have a way to perserve all the tasty metadata I'd be down with that.
