In May of 2022, WhistlinDiesel posted a video of a confrontation that occurred on a lake in Tennessee. He and his friends were riding jet skis out on the water and apparently created a bit of a wake in a no-wake zone. They stop immediately when they realize where they are, head to shore, and all seems to be fine.
An irate man then marches up to them, yelling and cursing them out for creating a wake. WhistlinDiesel seems to attempt to be cordial before resorting to trolling the man for his over-the-top reaction.
The conflict seems to end there, but then as WhistlinDiesel and his friends head back out into the water they are approached by a police boat. The policemen then issue citations for inappropriate splashing, and WhistlinDiesel and his friend get a court date.
And what do you do when you’re a YouTube star? You invite your followers to come along with you to your court date, carrying signs that lament the unfairness of the splash law, and you offer to take photos with as many people as possible, which is their catnip.
On June 1, WhistlinDiesel and his friends drive up to the court (in a very nice car) and his followers have turned out in spades to support him. It all has an air of jovial indignation. WhistlinDiesel finds the law ridiculous, so he will treat it as such.
