A dangerous incident involving an alleged street race in Beverly Hills was caught on video, but police say they may not be able to take action.
Witnesses recorded the Saturday afternoon incident, which broke out on quiet residential streets, and involved a yellow Ferrari and white Porsche.
Residents say it was then that they were in disbelief as they witnessed the two vehicles driving at speeds they say reached 100 mph down Walden Drive, blowing through intersections, and nearly hitting cars.
Police say the men are from Qatar and may have diplomatic immunity, meaning they cannot be arrested in the U.S. because of an agreement between the two countries.
've known about diplomatic immunity and until now, I've never really seen evidence of it being such a bad thing. I never thought it was fair and just but now I'm dead set on it being a really bad idea.

Sounds like a problem you solve without cops to me. The kind of thing where the problem just goes away and nobody sees anything or knows what happened.

This kind of thing happens every day in the U.S.
But you single this one out because it's in Beverly Hills? How absolutely trivial. If you put up all the teens and guys racing cars through neighborhoods you will stay very busy wasting your time.

Oh. and oh. I didn't watch the whole video. My bad.. I'm appalled too. They were running the stop sign like it didn't exist. Very spiteful, very blatant. From Qatar. It's a shame they come here and behave that way. I agree with your assessment. This needs to change..........
Plus it seems ridiculous that the State Department has to be involved with reckless driving.

You're right. I think the first movie I saw that made me aware of such a thing was Lethal Weapon. For a long time I thought it was just movie madness and not a real thing. Apparently... it is. I just wanna know who the bright guy was that made up this rule/law or the lack there of.
