You must also prove that you did not do so. The accepted way of doing
that (in the US) is to clone the drives using an external enclosure
constructed so as to make writing impossible.

I like the sound of those enclosures that make writing impossible. I
could do with something like that. Do you know where to get these?

The usual technique is to remove the 'write' jumper from the SCSI or PATA

That will certainly do the job, though in some cases it might be politic to
use one of the "special" enclosures sold for forensic use (i.e., ordinarly
enclosures with some wires cut and the price doubled). Just search for
companies serving the computer forensics market.
