this article explores diplomatic immunity here in the empire and in other countries providing some clear evidence of how it operates instead of how the law dictates;

In late 2013 an Indian diplomat, 39 year old, was the Deputy Consul-General in New York, and by all reports had an excellent reputation and was honorably discharging her consular duties. But then she was suddenly charged with submitting false documents to obtain a work visa for a housekeeper. She was arrested and handcuffed while dropping her daughter off at school, was taken to a police station and strip-searched, given a body cavity search, then put into a cell with drug dealers and held there until she was finally released on $250,000 bail.

He said "there can be no plausible claim that this case was somehow an injustice", calling her treatment "standard procedure" even for diplomatic personnel, claiming further that during her strip and cavity searches she had been "accorded courtesies well beyond what other defendants, most of whom are American citizens, are accorded". He claimed these procedures were "standard practice for every defendant, rich or poor, American or not, in order to make sure that no prisoner keeps anything on his person that could harm anyone, including himself". He said his office's sole motivation was to uphold the law, protect victims and hold lawbreakers accountable, "no matter what their societal status and no matter how powerful, rich or connected they are". It staggers our imagination and leaves us numb and unable to respond when faced with such incredibly shameful lies.

The mess was later blamed largely on a mistake, a claim that the low-level agent who drew up the charges against Ms. Khobragade had confused two documents - Ms. Khobragade's visa application and that of her housekeeper - and "misunderstood" Ms. Khobragade's salary as the amount she meant to pay her maid. It would appear that no visa fraud actually occurred after all, and it was further discovered Ms. Khobragade was after all attached to the UN as an advisor, which function unquestionably granted her full diplomatic immunity. A US judge later ruled the woman had full diplomatic immunity and could not be arrested or charged (2), but the US State department repeatedly refused to acknowledge her diplomatic status, although finally permitting her to leave the country.
