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 cars 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 Ferraris 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.

If he refuses to leave, he is then fair game as his Diplomatic Immunity would be gone.

Time for a rolling dumpster to roll into the street at just the (right) moment.
Well, the country from which the offender has legitimate diplomatic immunity must waive that immunity for prosecution here to proceed. Unfortunately, that rarely happens, especially with senior-level officials and their families. What typically happens in the case of serious charges (like vehicular homicide or manslaughter) is that the offender is expelled. There was a famous case in the DC suburbs a number of years ago where a diplomat was involved in a series of auto accidents, culminating in a crash in which someone was killed. He was finally expelled from the US, not prosecuted here, because his home country would not waive immunity.
Just a teensy weenie problem with that. J F'ing Kerry won't do it becuse CHillery will slice off any balls the Heinz biddy has left him. The Qataris were BIG donors to the Bill-Chill-Webb's Kid retirement fund.

OK I get that the president gets Air Force and Marine 1 but we bought him a Ferarri too?
Just install those asphalt bumps, unexpectedly.
That would slow him down as his undercarriage was dragging on the ground.
Kick in the front of the car. On a car like that, damage like that comes to around $10K. If he wants to call a cop to explain there’s been contact between the front of his car and a pedestrian, this pedestrian falls down, grasps his rib cage and starts moaning.
i agree. This doesn't sound like its coming out of the mouth of a real diplomat but rather his son's. A spy wouldn't say something like that to draw attention to himself.
Even if he is an appointed diplomat, he can and should be kicked out of the country.
“I could have you killed and get away with it. “
Nope. No one has absolute diplomatic immunity. That is an urban legend.
i like the way you think... : ^ )
Something in this story made me think of this.

I can’t imagine what it might be, though.

That’s an excellent idea.
A couple flat tires would slow him down.
