SOFA watch

The Guardian has published this edifying article on practice and procedure under the US-UK Status of Forces Agreement. Excerpt:

The American military personnel can sometimes bypass the British legal system, even when their alleged offences took place when they were off duty. So why is this happening? And are UK law enforcement authorities abandoning their responsibility to investigate and prosecute crimes that have occurred on UK soil?

And here is The Guardian's article on the case that has brought the SOFA to the fore. Further attention to the case and the SOFA seems likely.
