It sure does seem to be crafted to allow a free pass. But there is also the side of a backwards country having flawed laws, being used against others, like diplomats, who did nothing wrong yet it's considered wrong in the country they are in. Like there could be a law where you can walk on one side of the road, or whatever. Diplomatic are free from the madness, but other nationals who visit the country aren't. It does make for another level of eliteness.
