Reckless LaFerrari and Porsche GT3 Drivers Claim Diplomatic Immunity

You probably have seen the videos we posted on Sunday, of a yellow LaFerrari and a white Porsche 991 GT3 recklessly driving through the quiet residential streets of Beverly Hills. Well, now it has been uncovered that the the owner, after driving incredibly dangerously and breaking many traffic laws, is claiming that he has diplomatic immunity, and therefore cannot be prosecuted in America.

According to the reputable news source NBC Los Angeles, while the police were conducting the investigation, they were walked up by a man who claimed to be the owner of both supercars, who then denied any speeding or running the stop sign at all, or even driving recklessly at all. He then claimed he had diplomatic immunity, meaning the police cannot prosecute him in the States.

Automotive Journalist Jacob Rogers who filmed the craziness also told NBC that the man, claiming to own the cars, said,  “I could have you killed and get away with it,” in response to people filming his driving. Rogers retaliated,  “The press is allowed to be here on the sidewalk on a public street,” to which the man replied “F**k America,” and threw a cigarette at Rogers.

Police have said that they do not currently have positive id on the driver of the yellow LaFerrari, and although they have identified the driver of the Porsche GT3, they aren’t revealing who it is, or pressing any charges yet. Police Lt. Lincoln Hoshino said, “It’s in the hands of the State Department now,”
“Honestly, we don’t even know who was driving the Ferrari. All this driving occurred outside the presence of the police.”

Regarding the diplomatic Immunity, Lt. Hoshino said, “They can claim diplomatic immunity if they have the proper credentials for that status,

“Where the case goes from here is still developing.”

We know the LaFerrari is from Qatar, so it would be interesting to see if the driver is actually struck off his diplomatic immunity, and prosecuted just like this driver doing a burnout in London who is now facing prosecution back home.
