герой поймал какой-то радиосигнал и размышляет, пометить ли его как срочно требующий внимания в системе
He gets that tingly feeling in his fingers when something isn’t lining up, which means a possible arrest is imminent. He already wonders if Lenny's watch commander will act on a hunch, or if they’ll sit on it. Should he red-flag the message in the Homeland Security system, and add an URGENT flash? No, he decides, not my problem if the ***puddle pirates*** blow a good tip. But if they unknown vessel turns out to be smuggling drugs, it could be just like when he first took this job.

Puddle pirate is a derogatory term for Coast Guard. It comes from the fact that they usually stick close to the shore. Squid is Navy, Zoomie is Air Force, for obvious reasons. Army is Ground Pounders,

Спасибо, Татьяна! Да, я тоже пытался вспомнить чего-нибудь адекватное, но пираты - они как-то не отсюда :)

пираты побережья
(1) в отличие от"пиратов открытого моря"
(2) очень разумно дать ссылку с пояснением значения "puddle pirates/mud puddle pirates/ coasties".
(3) при прямом использовании "Береговой охраны США" совершенно пропадает регистр языка молодого военнослужащего, - тем более, что весь фрагмент фразы "if the puddle pirates blow a good tip" - "если 'пираты побережья' угрохают солидную наводку" -требует очень аккуратного обхождения
