"LOL I always say this, diplomatic immunity goes out the window when you are shooting police officers to death."
Exactly. In real life, diplomatic immunity does NOT give one carte blanche to operate with impunity. The movie took real life diplomatic immunity out of context. In reality, Arjen Rudd would face (at best, and this is if he were lucky) life in prison with no chance of parole, for shooting a police officer in cold blood. When one with diplomatic immunity commits a crime, the host country is contacted, and either the individual has their DI revoked and stands trial, or is sent back to their country to face whatever consequences they have there. -

WRONG
top Diplomatic Officals Like Arjun would not face a single day in jail what would happen is he would be proclaimed persona non grata and would be kicked out of the u.s the state department would request south africa to either revoke his immunity or charge him. they would likely say beep you to u.s
on another hand all of his men would in fact be arrested as even if they are working for the south African government would only have functional immunity which would protect them if they did a crime in the process of doing there job for the consulate
but when it comes to immunity the united states has no legal authority to revoke immunity they can only revoke the diplomats right to be in the u.s -

I've always thought the shot cuts should have been reversed.
Rudd: "Diplomatic Immunity!"
Murtaugh: "It's just been revoked!"
Rudd has a reaction shot of "Oh, beep it's not going to work!" THEN Murtaugh shoots.
It's not enough that the bad guy gets it, he has to see he gets it if even for a split second, what I call the "Oh beep I'm f'd" shot.
As that great philosopher Bugs Bunny said, "Something tells me I shoulda stood in bed." -

thats not how it works. Diplomatic immunity can only be revoked by the visiting nation.
the only thing the united states could do is proclaim Persona non grata which means person not welcomed ie the only thing the justice department could do is kick them out of the united states. South Africa on the other hand could be requested to prosecute or lift the Immunity and may agree to lift the immunity
