Any more silly questions?

Diplomatic immunity works all around. It protects the diplomats from idiot rulers, police, secret service and so on who might hassle you.

Remember, WE, the United States, have diplomats around the world as well who are using their immunity just as this idiot did. Hopefully they are using it in a smarter way.
