HOw do we get embassies to pay traffic ticket money they owe?

I live near NYC and every year it comes up that there are many countries owing millions of dollars to NYC because many ambassadors owe years and years of illegal parking tickets. The city is nearly powerless to enforce these laws. I feel they are abusing their rights and they should somehow be force to pay. How can we make them pay and if you disagree why?

Use wheel boots on their cars like the cops do everyone else. Tow the cars. Add a tax onto their utility bills to cover uncollected fines.

Most diplomats try to park legally. They condemn the city for providing insufficient places.

That said, there is no way to force UN missions to pay parking tickets. And their cars cannot be towed and held to ransom. The US can expel diplomats who break the law, but that has to be in accordance with the Headquarters Agreement under which the UN Hq is established in NYC.

As a practical matter, although the City complains about it, mis-parked diplomatic vehicles do not constitute a major issue. and the funds are unlkely ever to be collected.

Ken Livingstone (Red Ken) rants about the same thing as mayor of London. And there it's the US Embassy that refuses to pay the congestion charge, for driving in the central city on workdays http://www.cclondon.com/

Ambassadors are immuned to local laws because they are considered as nationals of the states that they represent. Thus, US authorities cannot demand that they pay illegal parking fees.
