“The bottom line – for the whole car community, it’s definitely a sad representation. I started walking backward with my camera up on my shoulder and at that point, he punched the camera as I was trying to lift it up on my shoulder,” Rogers told ABC7.Hi Annette: Clearly you seem to know Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad Al-Thani. For the most part, they’re very laid-back and mellow,” Adam Bornstein, a car enthusiast who posted the video online, said of the Qatari drivers.“It was pretty quick … a spur-of-the-moment thing,” he continued.
"The Beverly Hills Police Department takes this very seriously. First, KH don’t smoke, he loves the USA and kill you?? Qatari Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad al Thani, at last officially linked to the LaFerrari speeding incident as he was reported to be, has apparently fled the country, according to police in Beverly Hills.Al Thani is a member of Qatar’s royal family and a well-known figure in the international racing community. Dodge, in this case, would be Beverly Hills in particular and America in general. But now he’s fled the country, and his cars are gone as well. … The whole buzz is everybody’s upset that this does not accurately represent what it’s like.”Contrary to Bornstein’s laid back description of the Qatari royal and his entourage, video journalist Jacob Rogers said Al Thani confronted him over his filming, according to NBC4.“He told me verbatim, ‘I could have you killed and get away with it,’” Rogers said. His butlers lived in $600-a-night rooms in the hotel. If he were to apologize, I’m sure everyone would appreciate it. According to the Los Angeles Times, Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad al Thani has been dubbed the “patron sheikh” of drag racing by other members of the press.Over the past weekend, a video went viral showing a white Porsche 911 and a yellow Ferrari LaFerrari blazing past street signs and households in a manner that would not have seemed entirely out of place in a “Fast and Furious” film.After discussing the matter with the U.S. State Department and the Qatar consulate, authorities concluded the sheikh did not have any sort of immunity, police Chief Dominick Rivetti said during a news conference Thursday.The city will apply the law equally regardless of “who you are, who you know or where you are from,” Rivetti said, as top Beverly Hills officials stood behind him.However, after the video went viral Al Thani took his leave of the United States, absconding with both cars seen in the video.Al Thani had sponsored Al-Anabi Racing, a team he’s injected millions into so it could rise to the top of the professional drag-racing circuit in a short time, before funding was abruptly withdrawn in January, according to the L.A. Times. He indicates that part of the rationale for BHPD Chief "More individuals have come forward since that time to share video of the incident," says Subin, but he notes that none of this video definitively shows Al-Thani behind the wheel of the Ferrari or even getting in or out of the driver's side of the vehicle.Although Al-Thani has left the country, police are very interested to learn the whereabouts of the $1.5 million supercar. Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the son and, later, brother of Qatar’s emir, eventually graduated from the University of Southern California and returned to the Middle East. If someone has diplomatic immunity and drives recklessly or endangers the public, we will take action with the State Department's guidance." Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad Al-Thani is a member of the family that rules Qatar and is thought to have been the driver of a $1.5 million Ferrari involved in a … Founded by H.E. Subin indicated that BHPD is actively following leads to find the car. Meanwhile, the City of Beverly Hills reportedly communicated their outrage to the Qatari consulate via the U.S. State Department, Rivetti said. “The drivers weren’t visible on the videos or photographs.”After Al-Thani’s LaFerrari was captured on video tearing through the neighborhood — an act that grenaded its engine — he reportedly told police he had diplomatic immunity, something he repeated to a video reporter the following Monday, saying, now infamously:“He told me verbatim, ‘I could have you killed and get away with it,’” Rogers said. "Since it was a misdemeanor and BHPD was not present, we need a witness to come forward and make a citizen's arrest or give us more definitive video evidence," says Subin.
