dicksbro,

You raise an interesting issue: should foreign nationals (“regular old” expats, not those covered by diplomatic immunity) be subject to the same laws governing a nation’s citizens?

In the instance of this American who violated Saudi law in Riyadh, it would appear that your position is “No”.

Would your opinion be the same were a Saudi national to violate an American law here in the U.S.?
