Interesting point re embassies. In the past I recall that a foreign fugitive in a country was able to escape justice by getting to his country's embassy (or an embassy from a friendly country to their own), upon which the local police had no jurisdiction and could not arrest him/her. Isn't that how Julian Assange evaded any form of local arrest / extradition?
