English term or phrase: compromised authority
Izraz se koristi u policijskoj terminologiji, tj. kada se govori o taktickim jedinicama. Zna li itko za odgovarajuci, ustaljeni izraz na nasim podrucjima? Ugrozeni autoritet? Komprimitirani autoritet? Iako mi se rijec autoritet, bas ne svidja, jer ne opisuje tocno znacenje/konotacije engleske rijeci.
Takodjer nemam kontekst, pitam iz znatizelje. Hvala.

ugrožen položaj
Explanation:
Compromised Authority, when the crooks know you are coming-as happened at Waco forty-five minutes before the original assault that resulted in six agent deaths. When CA is discovered, one jurisdiction transmits over the tactical channel, "Jack rabbit! Jack rabbit! Jack rabbit!" Despite a careful plan for a deliberate entry and assault on a residence, if the subject comes out the door with a shotgun, one of the sniper/observer teams will probably make the CA code call over the radio to let C2 and the rest of the operation know there hasbeen a sudden change of plan and the op will go down now.


CA- Compromised Authority. The opposing terrorists know the plan/location of your team
