No immunity for Israeli diplomat's son in cop crash case, officials say

The 19-year-old son of an Israeli diplomat will not escape charges after authorities accused him of “intentionally” running over a Sunny Isles Beach police lieutenant over the weekend — at least not based on a diplomatic immunity claim, officials say.

Mr. Gill will run back in Israel before they go back to court

[drphibesrises]

He needs to be held accountable. This kid has been using this "immunity" crap to do what he wants and his father, who is a lawyer allows it.

His defense: "The police are anti-Semitic!"

[lpwnage]

I will be shocked if he faces any significant consequences.

[susansusan]

His mistake was he hit a cop, had he hit a regular citizen they would have let him go.

I don't think diplomatic immunity has ever encouraged good behavior.

[cosmlayla]

That's the problem when they're not held accountable for their crimes, A sense of entitlement.

[drdickqueso]

That fact it’s even a question in the first place is hilarious.

Diplomatic Immunity is archaic & needs to be abolished. You break the law, you pay the price. Period. This guy has ZERO respect knowing this.

This kid is at the age where he is required to do mandatory military service for the State of Israel (especially at a time of war.) Isn't the bigger question why and how did he evade service on the front line for his country, so he could come here and break our country's laws instead?

[CondemnedInformer]

'I can do what I want'. Gee, when has that ever gone bad? Send him packing.

[ManitoulinGirl]

Better arrest him now because he is going to FLEE

[shahs]

Entitled and arrogant, as usual. This is the world's fault for never holding them accountable

[YukiKuran]

If you love your kid, you must let him face the consequences of his actions

[TalkingHands]

No one should have immunity. That whole thing should be stopped immediately...

[daravango]

As an Israeli, this is very shameful. He should go to jail and not even dare to try to get away with it, especially not by disgracing Israel like that.

[lonihollenbeck]

End foreign aid to Israel, we need the money here.

[xjlyojx]

Wow, a prosecutor so stupid that they will just take the word of the defense attorney as law. Sounds like a great place for criminals to move to.

[rhodesfunk]

Diplomatic immunity for an ADULT son makes zero sense, like what?

[marcdawson]

In Britain the wife of an American serviceman drove down the wrong side of the road and killed a nineteen year old boy, claimed diplomatic immunity and never accepted responsibility for the life she took. Seems like double standards from the government to me.
