Kick the Dog: Robert abusing the Mascot, who is actually Simms. Morton is very cruel when he fires Simms, and needlessly tells Luke that Simms didn’t care about him.

Declining Promotion: After saving Luke from his former bodyguard, Simms is offered a promotion to protecting the president, which he wanted early in the film. He decides to stay where he is, both because of his friendship with Luke and because he's falling for Luke's biology teacher.

Jerk With A Heart Of Jerk: Robert initially comes off as a snarker, making jokes about Simms and shouting abuse at Luke at lunch. But when he comes over to Luke, he seems nice enough and maybe that is him dishing out banter and just being boisterous? Wrong.

Bait the Dog: When Luke asks Simms to give him space, Robert walks over and acts friendly, inviting Luke to sit with him and his friends. Luke sees through his fake friend act and rejects him, Robert then starts a full on fight with him.

Something Only They Would Say: While talking to Mongoose12 online, Luke jokes that his age is "21 if you're an older girl". During the climax, when Luke's former bodyguard takes him hostage and reminds him that he's "21 if you're an older girl", Luke realizes that his abductor is Mongoose12, his online chat buddy who taught him how to get out his house arrest tracker.

Turn in Your Badge: After Simms gets busted for taking Luke to a school dance against orders, Morton makes him turn in his badge and firearm. Dash narrowly escapes the same fate because Simms takes all the blame.

Artistic License – Law Enforcement
 First Kid / int_8a8f37f9
comment
Artistic License – Law Enforcement: President Davenport's Secret Service callsign in the film is "Eagle", while Luke's callsign is "Prince". In reality, the First Family's Secret Service callsigns always begin with the same letter to make them easier to remember. "Eagle" was also the callsign of President Bill Clinton, who is shown to be Davenport's predecessor; the Secret Service would never use the same callsign for two different living Presidents.

Took a Level in Badass: Early in the film, Luke can't throw a punch to save his life and gets beat up by the school bully. Simms (a former boxer) trains him in self-defense, and he wins round two.

Taking the Bullet: During the climax, Simms does this to save Luke from Agent Woods who Would Hurt a Child. Since it's in the shoulder, he survives with minimal injuries. He even lampshades it right before Luke hits him in the head with a hockey puck.

comment
Foreshadowing: Luke's internet handle is "ViperBoy", and his online friend is "Mongoose12". Since the snake and the mongoose are natural enemies (with the latter typically preying on the former), it's the first hint that Luke's friend isn't so friendly.

Tracking Device: Luke has two trackers on him shortly before the climax — a pendant that Simms gives him, and a wrist monitor that the Secret Service puts on him while he's under house arrest. When he ditches the latter and escapes the White House, Simms uses the former to find him.
