* The final arc of the original run of ''Manga/{{Appleseed}}'' involved a cyborg diplomat trying to use this to smuggle a HumongousMecha out of the city, by ''wiring himself into it'' and ''walking'' out. Unfortunately for him, his immunity got revoked, and he discovered that Giant Robots are somewhat vulnerable to flying cyborgs with tank cannons.
* In the Fujiyama Gangsta Paradise arc of ''Manga/BlackLagoon'', [[TheMafiya Balalaika]] essentially gets away with creating a yakuza civil war by pulling a few strings and getting the Russian Ambassador to escort her away from her last hit and away from a huge police dragnet, who don't know who she is apart from the fact that an Ambassador just came to pick her up. Interestingly, someone who does know who she is yells at the cops for failing to arrest her, meaning that she didn't actually have this trope in effect but was only counting on them expecting it just long enough for her to make an escape.

This prevents retaliation against them for that act, but the protection is never used to allow them to commit further crimes. The Japanese government was happy to do so since the Catians were willing to overlook the fact that the member they'd sent to make initial contact with Earth had been kidnapped and nearly murdered on Japanese soil.
** The potential diplomatic immunity of Kio's house being the Catian embassy is brought up in two instances later. Once, when Eris wants to mate with Kio despite being underage by Japanese law, and another time when Manami wants to shoot off guns in the yard. Both times, Kio puts the kibosh on it because he's not okay with either.
