If DO believed that there was criminal activity (notice I am not using the word "malicious"), they should have reported it to the police, and it that case they might be justified in securing a copy of the data. Blocking access would be justified only in the most extreme cases (such as if the data could be harmful to others, e.g. pictures of minors).
If there is no police report, then they are trying to act as police themselves, which I think is unacceptable. It is not their data.
Your argument that they can do whatever they want with their hard drives is indeed something I will take care to remember — I definitely would not want to host anything with DO.
