A diplomat has the opportunity to influence international relations and diplomatic developments. Most countries' diplomatic responsibilities are divided into three main categories: political, trade, and consular services.
Diplomatic immunity allows diplomats and employees of international organizations to perform their official duties without fear of criminal or civil suit.
In the USA you can always stop a vehicle even with diplomatic plates, but you can detain a driver with a standard passport but you cannot detain a diplomat who has “diplomatic immunity” on their passport.
You can request the diplomat's home country to waive their immunity, but there is no guarantee that they will comply. Pursue legal action in the diplomat's home country: If the diplomat returns to their home country, you may be able to pursue legal action against them in their home country's legal system.
Diplomatic immunity means pretty much exactly what it sounds like: diplomats are immune from prosecution in their host countries, even for serious crimes like murder. Ambassadors and other diplomats are in principle still required to follow local laws. But if they don't, their host country can't prosecute them.
In direct conversation, address an ambassador as Mr. /Madam Ambassador or Ambassador Jones. His/her spouse should be referred to as Mr. /Mrs. Jones or Ms. Smith, if the spouse is a woman who kept her maiden name after marriage.
