Ok, we'll change to that from https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-58165478. Thanks!

A Title change might be good too, because like others, I thought it was Google Docs snitching on a downloader.
A possibly more accurate title would be: "Activist raided by London police after downloading docs found on Google Search"

I would change "raided" to "arrested". The word "raid" is only used by El Reg and not any primary source. The account the arrestee gives in the BBC is "four police officers turn[ed] up at [my] door at 8:30" which suggests to me they just served him with a warrant and he let them in. Perhaps some people might call any execution of a warrant a "raid" but to me it suggests a forced entry.
