A Qatari driver who raced a luxury sports vehicle at near-triple-digit speeds around Beverly Hills on Saturday has claimed diplomatic immunity after being confronted by police.
Journalist Jacob Rogers says he tried to ask a man why they were racing and endangering lives, but the man cursed at him and told him to get off the property. Cellphone video showed the vehicles speeding and running stop signs.
“When Rogers tried again another time, he says the man said, “‘F-America’ and he threw a cigarette at me and that was before he indicated he could kill me and get away with it”.
Since the officers did not directly observe the violations, they were unable to issue a citation, the release stated.
“The Beverly Hills Police Department has been in contact with the United States Department of State in regards to the diplomatic status of the individuals involved and the legality of those vehicles being operated on a roadway in the State of California”, the statement added.
