tcrist, I agree absolute immunity would be bad. But I believe the checks 'n balances comes from the fact for an arrest to happen, an officer from that country (ie FBI/State/Local) would require probable cause (in our case). So, yes you have a point, but in the information gathering stage of an investigation this bypass works. Our system (or other nation for the matter) doesn't support international crime investigations. Which is why Interpol exsists, to be able to take and obtain information quickly so it can be used by local enforcement.
