The sheriff further emphasized that should the former president face charges, he would undergo the same booking and photographic procedures as any other detainee. The Rice Street jail is typically designated for such processes, although it is important to note that no president has ever been indicted in Atlanta, and no detailed plans have been outlined in anticipation of that scenario.
Sheriff Labat made it clear that individual status does not exempt anyone from being subjected to the necessary procedures, stating, "We are prepared with a mugshot, regardless of who you are." Addressing a room filled with journalists, he assured them that if an indictment were to occur today, they would be fully prepared to carry out their normal practices.
"Unless otherwise instructed, we will adhere to our standard protocols," he underscored.
