Depends on what kind of cop she was. If she had a super low opinion of convicted criminals and never in her life imagined she would be one, she is going to have a lot of adjusting to do.


It's not about her so much as it is how other cons will treat her. Anyone would need to adjust in a big way. Given she shot someone it is hard to see her getting minimum security.

Personally I think diplomatic privileges purpose should be to protect the diplomat from unusual hassles or laws being used against him or her, not to afford escape from what should be a common responsibility.

That is how it is supposed to work. What needs to happen now is the diplomat himself should be declared persona non grata and booted. That will have an effect on his career to be sure.
