Some years back when I lived in the Washington DC area there was a diplomat from one of the former USSR-states (I don't recall which) who was driving drunk, hit, & killed a teenage girl. His country pulled his credentials which took away his diplomatic immunity. He was convicted of DUI-manslaughter & went to prison.

Well, yes absolutely! Diplomatic immunity does not waiver the right of other people to defend themself or others. Further, if an attacker is a diplomat, the amount of justifiably force for self defense and defiance of others, will have other limits. For example, life threatening kidnapping with blackmail by a diplomat, would probably allow to hire mercenaries legally to deal with it. Trying to get the influential CEO coerced into assisting some espionage or sabotage may backfire severely. His company can legally pay private security services, maybe run by some veterans with plenty of combat experience. This actually gives the diplomat less protection in this case because his status as a diplomat justifies use of more force relative to the common criminal performing the same action. The police may not be able to act, but private security providers are not bound by diplomatic immunity and will not waiver their right to protect their customers. The diplomat may end up dead and immune at the same time. However this is not a problem, a diplomat doing actual diplomacy is indeed still immune. If diplomats try to use their countries army to enforce their behavior its an act of war, because they are using armed force to suspended an others countries sovereign order. In that regard I think that diplomatic immunity is sacred, it does not allow to abuse power in an uncontrollable way, but is essential for keeping or reestablishing peace!

Reminds me of a case here in my home country of Singapore, when a charges d'affaires (a fancy name for a deputy ambassador) committed a hit-and-run on three pedestrians, one of whom sadly passed. Due to diplomatic immunity, the charges d'affaires could not be charged here in Singapore, especially once investigations uncovered that not only was he the one behind the wheel during the hit-and-run, but also lied to throw off investigations before he fled the country. Luckily, this story did not end on a downer note, as his home country formally charged the man with the crime he committed in Singapore, and found him guilty of the crime, and was dealt with accordingly (he got prison time, but he died before he started serving due to health problems).

I can't think about diplomatic immunity, without thinking about the great country of Petoria. Long live Peter. Good old classic Family Guy. But all laws are a complete joke.

Diplomatic immunity should exist, it should protect the family members too, but it should be more limited. For example the diplomat's wife ran over a kid in a wrong way and killed him. Nothing should be able to get you out of so much bs. Also if someone intentionally does harm to innocents they should lose the immunity. EDIT: Diplomatic immunity should be limited to the things that they can be set up to/accused of and wrongfully arrested. It shouldn't protect them from this kind of very obvious crimes. And definitely not where they can say: "Yes. We're guilty,but f your human and civilian rights".

The host country chooses who it gives a diplomatic status. But once they give it to you and until your term at the ambassy end or they expell you of the country they cannot take it back. Once you're in your home country however, you are no longer considered a diplomat to them. And they can choose to out warrants out.
