That prevalent stereotype exists, because it makes it easier to convict inconvenient people with fabricated evidence. Need to make a quota? need to sweep some freaks off the street? Smear some hard drives with data and then kick the door down. Haul the loser fu jour infront of a jury, hold up a plastic baggie, with your HDD prop inside, make up an indefensible story, and explain to the jurors that they don’t even want to know what’s found on that device. And all in a day’s work. Keeping the streets safe from... ones and zeros on magnetic media.
