I work in Downtown Washington DC and I am always seeing Motorcades. Some are huge, so it must be the President. Others smaller with no blocked streets. But what is incredible to me is how many of the Motorcades involved blocked streets/sidewalks, lots of police activity, and tons of police.
Does anyone know who is eligible for a Motorcade? Are all Cabinet Secretaries eligible? How about Congressional Leaders? The White House Chief of Staff? Just how many government leaders are eligible for a Police Escorted traffic blocked Motorcade? As a driver in DC they are tiring and overdone!
