It's reported the guy from Qatar said "Fcuk America", flicked a cigarette at a reporter and told him "I could kill you and get away with it". Time to send somebody back to the sandbox.

Doesn't look like the cops can do a whole hell of a lot.

Exotic Cars Speeding Through Beverly Hills Focus of Police Report | NBC Southern California

Police are investigating a street race between two high-performance exotic cars in Beverly Hills that garnered hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube — and the man claiming to own the cars says he is protected by diplomatic immunity.
The video shows a white Porsche 911 and a yellow Ferrari LaFerrari, a hybrid supercar with a combined horsepower rating of around 950, speeding through a residential tract at high speeds on Saturday evening in the 700 block of North Walden Drive. It includes an exchange between a journalist who captured the video and a man outside the house where the Ferrari was parked.

Video journalist Jacob Rogers said the man confronted him over his filming.
"He told me verbatim, 'I could have you killed and get away with it,'" Rogers said. "I told him, 'the press is allowed to be here on the sidewalk on a public street.' He said, '(Expletive) America' and threw a cigarette at me."

At one point the cars speed through a stop sign. The Ferrari, which has an MSRP of about $1.5 million, appears to nearly sideswipe the car of another motorist that's not involved in the street race.
The video ends when the Ferrari's engine starts smoking and pulls back into the driveway. Police could be seen arriving in the neighborhood.

Neighbors were furious.
"The kids were terrified and the neighbors were out and this woman was screaming 'cause her husband almost got run over," said Roya Levian.

Police said they did not see the violations and "could not take any law enforcement action such as a citation or arrest," according to a news release.
While police were conducting their investigation, they were approached by a man who said the vehicles belonged to him and denied speeding, running stop signs or driving recklessly.
He said he had diplomatic immunity.
Police said they have been in contact with the United States State Department about the diplomatic status of the people involved and the legality of the vehicles driven on the road. The license plate of the Ferrari belonged to Qatar.

That sucks they can't issue a citation or arrest.. not that the fine would even bother them no matter how much it was I'm guessing. Maybe the neighbors will take it into their own hands when the sun goes down

He may be covered by diplomatic immunity but the cops should be able to confiscate his car.

Sniper could take care of that. Or remote drop a cinder block from one of the above tree branches.
(And that sniper could be a foreign diplomat. lol)

I'm very thankful for living in a country where one can say such things without fear of being imprisoned or executed. Now, as punishment for being so disrespectful and reckless, the GT3 should be confiscated and given to a real enthusiast: me.

The po-po are talking to the state dept. These a-holes will get kicked out of the USA, and replaced with bigger a-holes.
Repeat.

So, one would think, in all of Ferrari's infinite wisdom surrounding exclusivity selling to the "right" individuals.

I hope this one hits them where it counts.

I find it appalling the citizens and neighbors have less freedom than those schmucks. My guess the local cops would turn their heads and let the neighbors do whatever it takes. If ya catch my drift...

And oh yes, I'd have Mr. Wrecking Hauler come in and snatch those cars and disappear for the long haul.

If by "right" individuals you mean people with stupid thick check books, then likely this guy still qualifies.

and all hell would break lose...
our Ambassador to the place would be eating crow and whatever else they want..
and the local Leo's would be apologizing profusely..

just ask NY about handling these UN folks or their cars..
fines in the 100's of thousand remain unpaid..

and just short of killing the Reporter..
he's correct ..
WE would let him get away with it..
and if I recall correctly..
some have..
