Are the secret service more like navy seals or the poofy hat redcoats in London

I know they’re legit bodyguards but like if you frick with them a little will they just ignore you and take it as a joke or would they frick you up?

If you’re talking plainsclothes SS and you get close enough to “frick with them” they will frick you up

Uniformed SS is a different story

Seals

ETA: just to clarify I’m not equating them to seals, I’m just answering the prompt. They’re more like seals than Coldstream Guardsmen

I’m no expert on this but I feel like if the secret service is around, the president is also around, and they’re doing exactly what they’re paid to do. So “fricking with them”, is pretty much guaranteed to get you fricked up. They’re not really the types to take things as jokes when they’re on the clock.

I was working when Pat Robertson was running, and they were at a BR Hotel. A Japanese reporter kept getting closer and closer to Robertson, and he was verbally warned by an agent. Twice! So he tried again. Got right up to the agents at Robertsons shoulders and tried to stick his mic through. An agent grabbed him by the collar, slammed him against a pole, and told him his life would become "an unfortunate series of tragic misunderstandings" if this happened again. Most times, agents will just look you off and not mess with you. But if you start crossing lines they will definitely make contact with you.

The majority are just security guards. Securing buildings and going ahead of the president to set everything up and secure the area. Do the leg work, investigate threats, handle counterfeiting, etc.

The ones who are guarding the president are the badass ones.

Honestly they're more like Constellis which was known to many as Blackwater.

It is 2023 and the same company that owns a mercenary group also owns Yahoo

Not always, at least it used to be there as advance teams that would be on site several days in front of POTUS to secure venues, set-up secure perimeters, etc. I worked with some of those teams when POTUS was visiting the bases I was stationed on or when he stopped in the same location overseas. It seemed once you were on their list as solid you got requested for the duty a lot.

You are not an expert.

Presidential protection is just one of many possible tasks

I don't have many talents, but I can tell you that two and five are not someone you want to throw hands with.
