An arrest (a seizure) can be made under the "plain sight rule" ? without a warrant. When a crime is being committed in "plain sight."

Commercial infringement is a 5 year felony (a crime).

Seizure is not forfeiture. Seized property can be ordered returned by a court.

United States Constitution Bill of Rights Amendment IV The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
