In Hollywood films about bandits and valiant (or not) police officers, they often show how a motorcade of police cars travels to the crime scene, surrounds the house of the criminal, and the operation begins to capture the attacker. Usually we see such pictures when some malicious maniac killer plays the role of a criminal. But it seems that the pirates are equally dangerous in the UK police. Thus, 5 police cars and about a dozen police officers came to arrest one of the suspects in piracy.
Now in such operations, together with the police, the division of FACT (Federation Against Copyright Theft), the initiator of which can be considered the MPAA, participates. In this case, the police and FACT employees arrived at the house of the “criminal” with a pomp, so to speak, but it turned out that the suspect was no longer living at the place. Then, fewer cars, three, and six people, went to a new address, where they found the "pirate".

Three servers, a desktop computer, clean hard drives, and clean blanks were found in the man’s home. The “pirate” himself was 24 years old, and they suspected him of illegally copying the film “Fast and Furious 6”, plus some other pictures. However, except for the specified equipment, nothing more was found in the suspect’s house. No equipment for shooting a movie in the cinema, no evidence of the distribution of pirated copies of the film by this young man.

After the suspect was detained for 3 hours and 12 minutes, he had to be released. As the detainee himself noted, he was interviewed for about 40 minutes, and during that time a lot of questions were asked about the accomplices, the principles of obtaining pirated copies of films and so on. And even despite the fact that this man had to be released, he was forbidden to go to cinemas in England and Wales until September 23 of this year, while an investigation is underway.
