shoeshine

n. - A member of the FBI or a similar plainclothes investigator for law enforcement, referring to their dress code requiring shoes to be highly polished.
Terry feared that if he kept downloading movies, the shoeshine would catch up with him.

(See also the first chapter of Tom Wolfe's "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test," titled "Black Shiny FBI Shoes," and Simon & Garfunkel's song "Keep the Customer Satisfied," whose narrator sings that he is "one step away from the shoeshine, two steps away from the county line.")
