A YouTube video that went viral — showing a Ferrari LaFerrari and Porsche 911 GT3 tearing through residential streets of Beverly Hills; flying though stop signs while pedestrians waited to cross, narrowly avoiding other motorists — has caused outrage, with neighbors pleading with police to take action before someone gets hurt.
According to NBC4, the owner of said vehicles is claiming “diplomatic immunity,” telling a video journalist who asked for comment, “I could have you killed and get away with it.”
The name of the car’s owner has not been released, but he is rumored to be part of the Qatari royal family, and indeed the yellow LaFerrari — that boasts 950 hybrid horsepower and a price tag of $1.5 million — is registered to Qatar.
In the video the cars are seen screaming through residential streets, an area neighbors claim children play, before returning to the $10 million rented house in which the owner resides with smoke billowing from under the Ferrari’s hood. Video journalist Jacob Rogers told NBC4 he confronted the LaFerrari owner, and having been told he could effectively get away with murder due to his diplomatic status, he finished the brief interaction, according to Rogers, by saying, “’(Expletive) America’ and threw a cigarette at me.“

What happens when a CCW holder offs the bastard for battery?
one bullet
let’s see his diplomatic immunity against that
Muslims are much nicer people — when they are having their asses kicked.
That diplomat won’t be one for much longer unless he’s Middle Eastern, particularly Iranian
Yes, and I could have things done to him and he couldn’t do a thing about it. Check and Mate.
Diplomatic immunity can quite easily be revoked....
Diplomatic immunity just applies to state action. Someone puts you in reasonable fear of your life, defend yourself, and let them ship the body to Mecca if they want.
A cinder block thrown into the road would have slowed them down.
CCW holder in Kali? Not very likely.
He’s a Qatari royal, according to the story.
Still, all the State Department needs to do is revoke his diplomatic visa and he can either leave, or stay here with no immunity.
f-ing ME foreigners
just think , the day will come when ‘we’ walk in and own
all that they think they have ....
thank you very much
I’m guessing an Obama friend?
Watch what you say - maybe a visit from the Feds?
Police did state that they have positively identified the driver of the Porsche.
Ok, so what’s the POS’ name? Age? Address? Out with it, let’s dissect this guy like the media does with Joe The Plumber, Kim Davis, Geo Zimmerman, Darren Wilson, et al
if our laws and law enforcement cannot be applied to him... it’d be a real shame if he got shiv’d in the street.
the cops couldn’t do anything, as he has immunity from their services
He’s special.
Usually their own state department hears about their behavior and calls them home. Royalty is more problematic. Just wait until he is in charge of the country.
Diplomatic privileges can be revoked and they can be sent home by our own State Department.
Now, in the more rabid socialist totalitarian cesspools in kali, (LA, san fran, for example) you can only get such a license if you're rich or famous.
Perhaps you missed that this was in Los Angeles? CCW?
President Trump will take care of this kind of BS.
