You guys think a diploate/Leader pay fines, fees, and fallow the laws?
Stupid question - do you really think anyone should be allowed to do what they like, irrespective of the legality of it - just because they're in a position of power?
Shoot, Police Officers don't even obey the laws of the road. Do whatever they want really and they have this immunity as long as no one gets hurt.
No they don't - under some circumstances they're allowed to set aside some aspects of the Law, in pursuit of their duties - but they have to have a reason for it that justifies their actions. Or at least in 'civilised' countries they do.

London should actually be thanking us that the United States didn't close down all the roads like London did for the Pope. London wants their $16 per car, but if we had everything shut down, just think of all the missed revenue from all the other cars paying $16 and all the people not able to shop in the businesses along those streets. The extra money that businesses would have to pay for lost time on the job.
But no, the Pope gets immunity when he shuts down your roads and hurts business and revenue from all the missed fees due to no cars on the road.
If I was Obama, from here on out I would have all the traveling roads shut down, and many others for safety. Im sure that would piss off Londer's a heck of a lot more messing up their commute and business revenue then not paying a $16 fee.
It's already normal practice for the US President's security details to require the closing of the roads to be used and numerous associated roads - and, yes, it is a damned nuisance.
Oh I would also make sure that they the vehicles taken have the largest motors, with no cats or any type of emission controls for that matter. Then don't turn the vehicles off, just let the idle constantly and let it be a high idle at that. Pollute as much as possible while we are there.
You really are the Peter Pan of FM, aren't you? You've been posting like a petulant 10 year old since you've been here.

Sounds like the London Mayor is a douche.

You get a point for your last comment, though
