Embassies are not actually outside the laws of the country they reside in

"Contrary to popular belief, diplomatic missions do not enjoy full extraterritorial status and are not sovereign territory of the represented state."

They are immune to most local laws, but not all.  Their chief privilege is that the host country cannot enter the premises without permission- or violence.
