Based on my undergraduate degree in Law and Order, and a master's in CSI, I can confidently state that the interior of an embassy car holds the same legal status as the embassy itself. The police can stop the car and speak with the driver, but they have no authority to inspect its interior.

This is why Assange should have been in jail from the beginning, and not staying in a country mansion. What fools he has just made of the UK legal system.
The terrorist should've been eliminated by a drone strike long time ago, while he was still raping the innocent victims. USA agility doubleplusbad on the issue.

Som she claims. Several days later. AFTER she found-out the Assange was two-timing her. If you believe this woman you're really gullible, and I have a 6 GHZ laptop you might be interested in.
