The US pressured Georgia into issuing an immunity waiver when one of its diplomats killed a US citizen in a drunk driving incident some time ago. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-dec-20-mn-531-story.html diplomatic immunity should be waived in instances where an accredited person has committed a bona fide crime and is using it to escape justice.

Yup.

I dont think when diplomats or their family members screw up any ought to receive automatic diplomatic immunity, nome of them.

Well, first of all, the American killer wasn't a diplomat, she was the spouse of a diplomat.

So a similar case can be found in 2018, when Britain waived diplomatic immunity for Youssef Amrouche, the husband of a British diplomat, so he could be dealt with in New York City.
