Not necessarily. An ex-prez can refuse protection.
quote:
Obama signed the measure Jan. 10, 2013. Spouses receive protection unless they divorce or remarry after an ex-president dies. ... In 1984, another law allowed former presidents and their dependents to decline Secret Service protection if they wished, which Richard Nixon did in 1985, 11 years after he left office.Sep 13, 2016

Statute doesn't say how much protection is provided. If a former POTUS did something like this, I'd think the current POTUS would immediately trim the protection down, close to zero. Then Congress could vote to impeach the former POTUS and end the protection. Also, the statute could be amended as well, and end the protection that way.
