Kellett received the interim Anti-Social Behaviour Order (ASBO) at Leeds Magistrates' Court, which will conduct a full ASBO hearing in July. The Order bans him from posting any image or description of unlawful activity on the internet.
Kellett posted over 80 shaky, unedited film clips on YouTube depicting his activities, including a visit to the petrol station apparently without payment, underpaying a taxi driver, high-speed driving and car racing.
Other videos show fireworks being let off in a wheelie bin and in a microwave oven in the road.
Leeds Councillor Les Carter said that Kellet's videos had made it easy to identify him as a participant in anti-social behaviour.
“Kellett must be in the running to be Leeds’s dumbest criminal. He has handed us the evidence against him on a plate," said Carter. "If more criminals were as obliging, the city would be even safer.”
Kellet objected to the imposition of the interim order, telling the court that he was just a bystander filming activities that would have taken place anyway. He also said that the Order could breach his right to free expression.
The ASBO not only bans him from posting information about his exploits, but also from specific anti-social behaviour, such as participating in dangerous driving.
In the videos, some of which were shown in court, Kellet recognises that his videos are like diaries, documenting whatever happens to him. "Some people say a few of my videos are pretty boring, there's not much ever happens," he says in one. "I just film what I see, shit that goes down on Swarcliffe estate."
He also concedes that his behaviour is less than admirable. "How fucking irresponsible is this?" he asks while the car he is in is involved in a chase with another on a public road. "That was really immature," he says after he and his friends have abused a landowner who objects to their riding a motorbike on his land.
Leeds Council said that Kellet had previously been convicted of a number of offences at Leeds Magistrates Court. Kellet himself tells in one video of a spell in prison as he is burning the love letters he wrote every day to his girlfriend.
