>> HOW FAR CAN YOU GO IN AMERICA IF YOU SUPPOSEDLY HAVE
DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY?
ONE QATARI MAN WHO OWNS EXOTIC VEHICLES SPOKE TO POLICE
AFTER HIS CARS WERE USED IN A STREET RACE.
APPARENTLY HE IS SAYING THAT HE DOESN'T HAVE TO FACE ANY
TYPE OF PROSECUTION FOR WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN IN THE
VIDEO WE WILL SHOW YOU BECAUSE HE HAS DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY.
HOW BAD WAS THIS RACE?
TAKE A LOOK.
>> OH, SHIT DUDE.
>> THE
TWO CARS YOU SAW WERE A PORSHE AND A FERRARI,
ESTIMATING THAT THE FERRARI COSTS AS MUCH AS $5 MILLION.
OTHERS ARE SAYING IT'S WORTH 1.5
MILLION.
EITHER WAY THEY ARE BOTH EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE.
THAT HAPPENED AND THERE WAS A JOURNALIST THERE WHO WAS
FILMING THE ENTIRE THING.
THE JOURNALIST WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT BECAUSE THERE WERE
NEIGHBORS THAT WERE SCARED.
THEY SIDESWIPED, IT APPEARS THAT THEY SIDESWIPED THAT NISSAN.
HERE IS WHAT THE JOURNALIST SAID, "THE MAN WHO OWNS THE
VEHICLES TOLD HIM VERBATIM, 'I CAN HAVE YOU KILLED AND GET
AWAY WITH IT.'
I TOLD HIM, 'THE PRESS IS ALLOWED TO BE HERE ON THE
SIDEWALK
ON A PUBLIC STREET.'
HE SAID, 'FUCK AMERICA' AND THROUGH A CIGARETTE AT ME."
A NEIGHBOR THAT WAS IN THE AREA SAID, "THE KIDS WERE
TERRIFIED AND THE NEIGHBORS WERE OUT AND THIS WOMAN WAS
SCREAMING BECAUSE HER HUSBAND ALMOST GOT RUN OVER."
>> THESE GUYS ARE EXACTLY THE KIND OF PEOPLE I CAN'T STAND.
PRIVILEGED, THEY THINK THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW, AND ñ
PEOPLE GET MAD AT A KID LIKE AHMED MOHAMED, GET MAD AT
THESE GUYS THAT ARE SO PRIVILEGED THEY COME HERE AND
SAY FUCK AMERICA.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
OF COURSE THESE GUYS ARE FROM THE GULF, WE LOVE THOSE
GUYS, SAUDI ARABIA, QATAR.
AMERICA SAYS, ALLIES, THEY GIVE US CHEAP OIL.
THE FUNNY THING IS, IN THAT EXACT NEIGHBORHOOD I WAS
JOGGING AT THAT SAME TIME.
OF COURSE I DON'T LIVE THERE, BUT I LIVE IN L.A. AND
SOMETIMES I LIKE TO GO ON SCENIC JOGS.
SOMETIMES I JOG NEAR THE WATER, AND SOMETIMES IN BEVERLY HILLS.
TOTAL RANDOM COINCIDENCE, SOMEONE ALMOST RAN ME OVER,
IT WASN'T THESE GUYS, IT WAS A KID WHO ALMOST RAN THAT
SAME EXACT STOP SIGN BECAUSE HE WAS TEXTING ON THE PHONE.
THERE IS A LOT OF DANGEROUS PEOPLE ON THE ROAD.
MISTAKES ARE ONE THING, IT'S ANOTHER THING WHEN YOU SAY
YEAH, SO WHAT.
>>
RIGHT NOW THE STATE DEPARTMENT IS LOOKING INTO THIS TO
FIGURE OUT WHETHER OR NOT THIS GUY HAS DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HIS IDENTITY IS.
THE POLICE ARE NOT RELEASING HIS IDENTITY.
THE ONLY THING WE KNOW IS THAT HE IS NOT FACING CHARGES AT
THE MOMENT.
THEY DID NOT ISSUE A TICKET BECAUSE THE POLICE WERE NOT
THERE AS THE STREET RACING WAS TAKING PLACE.
EVEN THOUGH THERE IS EVIDENCE SHOWING WHAT IS HAPPENING,
RIGHT?
IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS PROTECTED UNDER DIPLOMATIC
IMMUNITY, WE NEED TO REALLY CONSIDER REFORMING IT.
THE PURPOSE OF DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY IS TO MAKE SURE
THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE OF ONE MIND SET WHO HAVE ONE POLITICAL
BELIEFS CAN GO TO ANOTHER COUNTRY AND STILL PRACTICE
THEIR POLITICAL BELIEFS WITHOUT ANY WORRY THAT THEY ARE
GOING TO BE PERSECUTED FOR IT, RIGHT?
THIS IS NOT THAT.
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEIR POLITICAL IDEOLOGY OR
PROTECTING PEOPLE.
THIS IS BASICALLY GIVING PEOPLE THE ABILITY TO ACT IN A
VERY DANGEROUS WAY AS IF THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW.
>> PART OF THE REASON FOR DRAMATIC IMMUNITY-
IF YOU ARE A WESTERNER AND YOU ARE A DIPLOMATIC WHILE IN A
GULF COUNTRY, YOU DON'T WANT TO BE ARRESTED FOR THAT
BECAUSE YOU ARE AN AMERICAN WHO IS REPRESENTING YOUR
COUNTRY THERE OR A GERMAN OR WHATEVER.
REFORMING DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY IS HARD BECAUSE LINES ARE
HARD TO DRAW HERE.
OFTENTIMES IT LEADS TO ABUSE, AND WHEN IT DOES IT IS
MADDENING.
THEY THINK THEY CAN'T BE TOUCHED.
AT SOME POINT, YOU'VE GOT SOMEBODY WHO ALMOST GETS
RUN OVER, GOD FORBID WHEN OTHER KIDS GETS RUN OVER, YOU'RE
GOING TO GET TOUCHED.
>> IT COULD VERY WELL HAPPEN.
THEY HAD COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR THE STOP SIGNS.
>> I HATE THESE GUYS.
YOU KNOW WHAT, WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY KILL A KID?
THEY WOULD'VE PROBABLY JUST GONE HOME AND PROBABLY LAUGHED IT
OFF BECAUSE THEY ARE RICH AND THEY DON'T CARE.
YOU THINK THE RICH ARE BAD HERE?
THERE ARE ELITIST, PRIVILEGED, WEALTHY PEOPLE THAT DID NOT
EARN THEIR MONEY AT ALL ALL ACROSS THE WORLD.
ESPECIALLY IN THE GULF STATES WHERE THEY DID NOT DO
ANYTHING, THEY JUST HAPPEN TO BE SITTING ON A MOUNTAIN OF
OIL AND THEIR KIDS AND THEIR GRANDKIDS AND THEIR GREAT
GRANDKIDS RIDE AROUND IN MILLION DOLLAR CARS.
THE ONLY GOOD NEWS IS THAT GUY PROBABLY FUCKED UP HIS
FERRARI.
HE HAS NO IDEA THE CONCEPT OF MONEY, HE HAS NEVER EARNED
MONEY IN HIS LIFE.
YOU THINK THAT HE WORKED HARD FOR THAT FERRARI?
HE DOESN'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE FERRARI.
HE DOESN'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT ANYTHING.
THAT GUY IS A DANGER.
DON'T PUSH PEOPLE, MAN.
YOU SAY FUCK AMERICA, YOU ARE ASKING FOR TROUBLE.
NOBODY WANTS TROUBLE.
