BEVERLY HILLS (CBSLA.com) — A dangerous incident involving an alleged street race in Beverly Hills was caught on video, but police say they may not be able to take action.
Witnesses recorded the Saturday afternoon incident, which broke out on quiet residential streets, and involved a yellow Ferrari and white Porsche.
Residents say it was then that they were in disbelief as they witnessed the two vehicles driving at speeds they say reached 100 mph down Walden Drive, blowing through intersections, and nearly hitting cars.
“My boys were out in the street biking and it was very scary. They were passing the stop sign several times for a good 20 minutes,” Roya Levian, a witness, said.
Paulette Koumett says she was in her car on a very busy Wilshire Boulevard when she saw the cars racing.
“Completely crazy, because it was, they were going, I saw them on my back mirror and I said, ‘Oh my gosh, they are going so fast,’ ” Koumett said.
Eventually, the Ferrari was seen smoking after reportedly doing burnouts. It returned to a home in the area.
Journalist Jacob Rogers says he tried to ask a man why they were racing and endangering lives, but the man cursed at him and told him to get off the property.

“Hey, these Bedouin’s claimed “Diplomatic Immunity”!”
The neighbors need to take matters into their own hands. Use the cars for target practice.

And you just stood by? This is what’s wrong with America. There is a completely unsafe situation and folks just video it with their smartphone.
Was there not one real man on the street?
I wonder how fast you could get from Cedar Park to Marble Falls in a wide-open Ferrari.
I am opposed to using potentially destructive means to do so for handling 1-2% of drivers, yes. But in this particular case, I’d be willing to temporarily make the exception.
Speed bumps often are not well marked, and the average law-abiding driver could be caught unawares, causing vehicle damage even when driving at or under the speed limit. They are usually not intended to limit people to the correct speed limit - they are usually intended to slow people to about 5-10 mph, which is annoyingly restrictive.
Where are the rock throwing palis when you need them...
Well, I agree with you on the potential damage they can do to your car when you don’t notice them. It has happened to me before. Not actual damage to the car, but rather a nice little surprise ‘jolt’. However, I do think they are necessary on local residential streets, as there are a lot of dangerous jerks out there on the roads driving.
Good golly. Those people are crazy.
Man! There was Shiite flying everywhere in that video.
‘Tis but a scratch.
This is a direct consequence of islamic belief, which claims that everything is the will of allah. Car crashes are the will of allah, so driving at 100 miles an hour down a residential street is just as risky as going 30.
One of my former bosses (an Army colonel) retired and went to work as a security consultant to an energy firm in Saudi Arabia. He said any car wreck between a Muslim and a non-Muslim was automatically the fault of the non-Muslim, by law. So they never drove themselves, always had a chauffeur.
State Troopers are known in the past to “kill” cars.
"Why the sad music? Please replace

much appreciated."
They said last night here locally that they are NOT from Qatar they are from Iran..so that makes this story even more interesting..and I wonder where they got all this money to buy these expensive cars and that home(You need at least 5+ mil to afford that area) since he hates America so much, perhaps he should take his money and LEAVE, but nah, he will be voting Democrat in the next election
Two solutions.
First remote control traffic spikes outside his driveway on the neighborhood streets. Any reports of racing and the spikes get raised and stay up.
Second, inform his embassy of the incident and state that the next time it happens he will be persona non grata, his visa revoked and the embassy will have 48 hours to return him to his homeland.
Oh, excuse me. Both solutions retire some back bone. Guess everyone will take the easy way out and wait until there is a fatal accident and someone is killed. If we are lucky it will only be the driver. Who wants to depend on that kind of luck? Not me.
The story did just get more interesting with that update. Thank you Sarah!
If that's the case then "Diplomatic Immunity" = Val Jar & Obama then...(The same with the statement about America.)
ABC 7 said the men are from Iran and yes considering Valerie Jarrett’s Iranian connection it wouldn’t surprise me if she ha a connection to these guys. Mark my words they will kill someone and probably get away with it too and the Beverly Hills Police can’t touch them because they have “Diplomatic Immunity” yeah I would like to know why they have such a status
Baldy threatened the young male journalist’s life who approached him and said he could get away with it. Time for quick deportation!!!
