RE: Hard Drive Forensics Question

However, disproving them (assuming that they cannot find anything)
would be nothing but beneficial for him.


Having to disprove them is antithetical to the "innocent until proven
guilty" concept, and requires one to justify one's own continued right to
freedom rather than requiring any who wish to abridge that freedom to make a
case supporting the abridgment.

Giving over the hard drive in the absence of a legal compulsion to do so is
apt to be against the advice of a lawyer - who, as has been said before,
should be consulted before the individual in question takes or agrees to
take any course of action.
