As funny or pathetically sad as this may be is the fact that we still tolerate such absurdity as Kings, Princesses, Dukes, Princes, and whatever other silly names given to those still allowed to retain such absurdities in our so called modern society.

Basically its a license to steal and ironically if a commoner was to try to do the same thing in her so called country ~ imagine the outcome and the many body parts that would and could be removed for stealing. http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2010/07/09/the-world-s-most-barbaric-punishments.html

Ironically she did the same thing only a couple of years ago ~ in that she stiffed several retail shops on a shopping spree.

Sadly she'll continue to do it again and again until someone stops her and such absurdity.

Fool them once shame on you, fool them over and over again, well I guess the Frenchies get what they deserve, after all, the arabs have surpassed the French in the way they've learned to surrender when facing certain death.

The French at the hands of any invading boyscounts as evidenced during the world wars and the middle easterners when they encountered US troops.

To be fair, it's the rules of diplomatic immunity and diplomacy that you have issue with. The fact that certain countries use royal family members as diplomats is a side issue. Kim Jong-Il never claims royalty, and his diplomats won't be much better.

For that matter, campaign contributions determine who becomes ambassadors in the US. Some of them are de facto criminals, like the guy who ran Ameriquest, the predatorial subprime mortgage company.

And one final point...the exact same rules keep our more-honest diplomats safe when they go to visit these other countries where the rule of law is far more nebulous. I'd say that's worth a few incidents, and better than the brief satisfaction it would be to pull a Danny Glover from Lethal Weapon 2.

Come on Ryan you know that scene was a good one, so if this princess was to pull out some gernades and fire-arms and was to start killing others, would you still feel like hey lets give them a pass and politely ask for them to stop it.

I personally loved when that smug a$$ard took a bullet to his head and Danny says " revoked !"

It's ridiculous that because of being born to some camel family that idiots have deemed royalty and rulers that she can get a pass from weak as water Frenchies.

A criminal is still a criminal whether its an American or in this case some saudi princess.

Anyways I was laughing my you know what off when they called the police and she kept on packing probably taking some bath towels with her and leaving the bill unpaid by simply uttering diplomatic immunity.

Can't wait to read the stories the next time.

Look for this behavior to spread. It's human behavior to be less inclined to obey the law when there are numerous illustrations of lawlessness either being ignored or, in this case, rewarded.

I haven't looked too far into the story. Didn't the French at least officially protest and eject her from the country and revoke her diplomatic credentials? It's the least they should do. If nothing else, it'd prevent a recurrence of such events in the future and serve notice to other countries' diplomats that the usual courtesies owed by guests to their host (such as respect and proper behavior) will be expected?

I'm just saying that in that situation, you could suddenly turn an evasion of justice into a large-scale hostage situation in the host country. If the rules aren't respected.

But yes, one of the best one-liners in movie history.
