I’m sure we’ve all seen this by now.
And I’ve had time to think it through. Fuck this guy, and his attitude. Way back when I was an ESL instructor I used to have to teach little bitches like him. To this day, even compared with what I do now, (occasionally working with the rich and famous, don’t ask, I’m just a button pusher) have I found any single group of people that were more arrogant than the “Princes” from that particular peninsula. I suppose when you are super wealthy and everyone else around you is in rags, it’s quite the ego booster.
I get that diplomatic immunity is required for international relations, but maybe it’s time to modify who gets it and for what. It’s just my opinion that when you are going around blatantly breaking the rules of the land rather than say breaking one because of ignorance of the local laws, that immunity should not apply. Fuck that guy in particular.

They had no diplomatic immunity, and they high-tailed it out of there.

The owner of a pair of supercars seen on videos speeding and racing through narrow residential streets in Beverly Hills does not have diplomatic immunity as he claimed, police said.
But he won’t face any charges because no officers witnessed the incident and no evidence exists of who was behind the wheel of the cars, Beverly Hills Lt. Lincoln Hoshino said.
While millions may have seen the videos posted on Instagram and YouTube of a rare yellow Ferrari LaFerrari roaring down North Walden Drive trailed by a Porsche 911 GT3, Hoshino said no police officer saw the incident firsthand.
For a misdemeanor dangerous-driving offense, an officer must see the infraction him or herself or have evidence of who was at the wheel during Saturday night’s exotic car racing, Hoshino said.
Hoshino said when officers first arrived at the house at the center of the complaints – at Walden Drive and Elevado Avenue, the cars were parked in the driveway and the cars’ owner denied any wrongdoing and did not volunteer who was driving.
“No one produced any evidence of who was at the wheel of the two cars,” Hoshino said. “The drivers weren’t visible on the videos or photographs,” he explained.
Hoshino said the man who approached officers and said he owned the cars, denied speeding, running a stop sign or driving recklessly and then claimed diplomatic immunity.
Hoshino said that the police department checked with federal authorities and that the man does not have any such immunity. Hoshino, using the car’s vehicle identification number, tracked its ownership to a Qatar national.
At one point in one of the social media videos, the LaFerrari weaves left around a car idling at a stop sign ahead of it and then travels through an intersection while people stand in the road and on the sidewalk, watching. It appears to touch the road below. Some appear to be recording the events on their cellphones. Eventually it is seen with its engine smoking in the Beverly Hills home’s driveway.
Hoshino said the cars are now gone from Beverly Hills and he doesn’t expect to see them again.

No charges were filed because the cops couldn’t put anyone in the drivers seat on the video. The car is owned by a Quatar Sheikh. I don’t see any other updates other than those. Still, if there we ever a case for police brutality...

I’ll see if I can’t find the report again. But yeah, I agree. I mean, here is another video (NSFW language) where 9 cops arrest one kid even after he got battoned by one of them...You know what his offense was? Jaywalking.
I mean, I’m not anti-cop, but when I see this sort of thing in contrast, it doesn’t make me want to go out of my way to defend them either.
