And if what he says holds water, the state&rsquo;s handling of the situation may not stand up well to scrutiny.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, news broke that Detwiler had been arrested on tax evasion charges that, according to him, stem from his now-incinerated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/ferrari\/\">Ferrari<\/a>.

He suggests that the state was far more shady.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Question of Timing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a portion of the video that has since been edited out, Detwiler claims that state representatives contacted his accountant a year ago. When they did, the accountant asked if there was any issue with the registration and if Detwiler should transfer it to Tennessee. <\/p>\n<p>According to Detwiler, the state&rsquo;s response was anything but transparent. He cites an agent&rsquo;s note from the investigative report: &ldquo;I advised [the accountant] to not speak with Detwiler about our conversation and to leave assets as they were until the investigation was completed.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<p>He claims that officials sat on the issue for months until they could secure an indictment and show up at his house with officers wearing body cameras. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They picked the wrong guy to run an example on,&rdquo; he says in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/video\/\">video<\/a>, leaning into the reverse-UNO-card posture he&rsquo;s adopted since last week&rsquo;s arrest spiraled across social media.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><strong>What&rsquo;s Behind the Gag Order?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If the arrest itself wasn&rsquo;t enough, Detwiler says the state is now pushing for a gag order, arguing his massive online reach could taint a jury or generate hostility toward state workers. <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"e46c436a-adeb-4b5e-a2c7-56bc36561c10\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"b25ecba7-3bbb-4ea7-a3a8-dbea91695c07\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n         \t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n             \t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n    \t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;b25ecba7-3bbb-4ea7-a3a8-dbea91695c07&#8221;);<br \/>\n             \t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;e46c436a-adeb-4b5e-a2c7-56bc36561c10&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<p>He calls the move unconstitutional and says it&rsquo;s a direct response to the backlash they faced once he went public.
