An American diplomat's wife ran into and killed a UK biker near an RAF base while driving on the wrong side of the road. She fled back to the U.S. claiming diplomatic immunity. It doesn't look like we will send her back to answer for this.

Diplomatic immunity was designed to allow the diplomatic staffs of countries with strained relations to carry out their normal activities without fear of persecution by the host country. The concept has been corrupted over the years to include crap like this including sexual assaults. It's popular with UN diplomats in New York.

IM0 it's an embarrassment that we would do this to one of our closest allies in order to protect some ditz.
The feeling is that her husband is probably a spook.
