Well, I don’t know in the US, but there is a Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit in the UK.

Moreover, 2 or 3 years ago, the City of London police has placed advertisements on websites that offered pirated content illegally.

It seems that the same kind of police exists in the US (https://torrentfreak.com/u-s-anti-piracy-police-kept-secret-from-the-public-110811/)

So maybe it is not as obvious as that…

In the United States its one year in prison for a bootleg.

Thank you for this information.
My point is: the fact that it is a civil matter does not prevent the police from having it in its attributions, in the UK anyway. Is it different in the US ?

Its Not that diffrent when it comes to laws.

Now I’m a little bit confused…
