It is stupid, I agree....but that is why there are people who feel they need to become vigilantes...because the law lets us down.

You are so right No one should be above the law not Diplomats cops or politicians But it seems there is 2 sets of laws one for cops \diplomats and politicians and anther for the rest of us It should not be this way but unfortunately that is how it has become . diplomatic Immunity needs to be repealed That's for certain Way too many are getting away with criminal activities

yes they can go to jail...they are not above the law...diplomatic immunity just means that if a crime is committed in a foreign country the person who committed it gets deported back to their home country and delt with there in the fashion which the laws of that country dictate...

Ambassidors as well as other diplomats of other countries get the same diplomatic immunity. It's the same thing we get in other countries, it's nothing that we're not getting anywhere else in the world.

what you are describing is the hollywood/tv/movie version of diplomatic immunity. learning the law from an arnold schwarzenegger movie is not the best education.

And members of congress can't get arrested when congress is in session. This is to prevent politcal harrassment.
