Diplomatic Immunity?

Foreign diplomats based in London owe more than £37 million in unpaid congestion charges, parking fines and non-domestic rates, new figures reveal.  In addition, dozens have been able to get away with crimes including sexual assault, threats to kill and actual bodily harm by claiming diplomatic immunity.

The United States was responsible for the highest level of unpaid fines, owing nearly £4 million for congestion charges dating back to 2003, followed by the Russians with more than £3 million and Japan on £2.77 million.
