In reply to the discussion: Dubya's Europe Trip Canceled After His Arrest Is Called For [View all]quakerboy
(13,917 posts)29. What do the secret service contingent do in a case like that?
If one of them at some point goes to a location with a valid, active arrest warrant for bush or Cheney, what do their secret service agents do? My understanding is that bush is the last president who will receive full life long SS protection. So what do they do? Do they let him be arrested and go with him to the jail? I suspect that they are obligated to stay with him. Can you take SS protection with you into prison if you are convicted?
