I didn’t miss that. I’m wondering if someone with diplomatic immunity can be killed legally in defense while committing a crime. Any lawyers out there?

For the most part, people with diplomatic immunity are unlikely to tear up the streets, or get in fights in bars They are generally mature and are concerned about their careers. I had diplomatic immunity for many years, including four years in Havana. I was making a right turn on red on my street. A cop whistled me down, so I explained to him in Spanish the meaning of that sign behind him. Once I was sneaking across 5th Ave. A cop pulled his motorcycle in front of my SUV with diplomatic plates, dismounted and approached me, waving his finger, telling me not to do that again, in no uncertain terms. Then he stepped into the road, held up his hand to stop traffic, then waved me on to 5th Ave. It all depends on attitude.
