WhistlinDiesel's cameraman was charged with five counts of inciting a riot in 2023

Keller Moore, WhistlinDiesel's cameraman, appeared as a guest on the VINwiki Car Stories YouTube channel in April 2024. Moore recounted in a video how he had been arrested after hosting an exotic car show in 2023.

Elaborating on the charges he faced, Keller Moore stated:

"Turned me in and went to jail that night. Got out of jail. I got charged with five counts of inciting to riot, which I don't think a family-friendly exotic car show would fall under a riot. Especially, when there's strict guidlines of, 'Hey, don't do this, this, and this.' It's the craziest thing."
