Hello, i wanted to know to what extent do the ISPs or police pursue torrenting. In the 90’s it was acceptable and fairly wide-spread. I am unsure how it looks now.

There is encryption that will save you unless ISPs use shadow peers, which they can’t use retroactively.
Edit, cuz I think the scope of my original comment has been misunderstood, my bad:
Of course, ISPs can still know you’re torrenting, and if they don’t like that, you will get letters. But they can’t know what you torrented.
If you’re gonna torrent, get informed about the laws in your country and how ISPs enforce anti-piracy measures, and if you can freely torrent in your country, there’s no need to use a VPN. Encryption will save you from ISPs retroactively snooping on what you torrented.
the peers approach is the problem, not the ISPs. ISPs can tell your torrenting just from the shape of the traffic.
edit: generally, the claim that the builtin encryption protects the user is essentially misinformation and anyone who follows it is potentially in for a world of hurt.
