Police seized servers in the UK in June 2005. An [[anonymous post]] on the Bristol Indymedia server came to police attention for suggesting an "action" against a freight train carrying new cars as part of a protest against cars and climate change in the run up to that year's Gleneagles G8 summit.<ref>John Leyden, ''[https://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/06/28/indymedia_server_seizure_bristol/ Legal row after police seize Bristol Indymedia server] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170810135639/https://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/06/28/indymedia_server_seizure_bristol/ |date=August 10, 2017 }}'', The Register, June 28, 2005</ref> A member of the Bristol Indymedia group was arrested.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/bristol/somerset/4629399.stm ''Indymedia server seized in raid''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090316040147/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/bristol/somerset/4629399.stm |date=March 16, 2009 }}, BBC News, June 28, 2005, Retrieved August 25, 2007</ref> Indymedia was supported in this matter by the [[National Union of Journalists]] and [[Liberty (pressure group)|Liberty]].{{r|bbc2005}}

In August 2014, Bristol Indymedia's servers were again seized by police after a string of attacks in the Bristol area were claimed on the Indymedia service, including a communique signed by [[Informal Anarchist Federation]] claiming the successful arson of a police firearms training centre.<ref name=post>{{cite web|url=http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/anarchist-website-bristol-indymedia-close/story-22848036-detail/story.html|title=Anarchist website Bristol Indymedia to close following police raid|date=August 29, 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151015153857/http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Anarchist-website-Bristol-Indymedia-close/story-22848036-detail/story.html|archive-date=October 15, 2015|df=mdy-all}}</ref> Bristol Indymedia stated that they would not cooperate with the authorities and that they "do not intend to voluntarily hand over information to the police as they have requested".<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/06/28/indymedia_server_seizure_bristol/|title=Legal row after police seize Bristol Indymedia server|access-date=2018-02-13|language=en|archive-date=August 10, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170810135639/https://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/06/28/indymedia_server_seizure_bristol/|url-status=live}}</ref>
