I had to briefly look up the difference between criminal law and case law to see what you mean. I have no idea if there are any criminal cases in the US about this.
In Civil Law countries as opposed to Common Law countries the plaintiff could very well be the state for this type of legislation. For example, look at tech companies being fined for GDPR violations, same basic idea.
