Use your phone if you HAPPEN to see something to record while incidentally out and about. If you’re SPECIFICALLY putting yourself out there to protest, document, or obstruct action, it’s insane to bring your actual phone - get a dumb digital camera. It comes with MUCH less liability, and from a purely practical point of view you don’t wind up trying to explain to your phone company why your phone being stomped into bits by a Nazi should be covered by the insurance. Not to mention you can pop the SD card and hide it if you need to. It’s just smarter.
Its good to have some kind of camera device that can take and upload video. A cheap flip phone is fine for this. If you’re meeting up with other people remove the battery.
I mean, it’s still a liability. If you get arrested, and they don’t have direct evidence of your doing something, your phone can’t incriminate you if they can’t get their hands on it.
I mean, it’s better to be there with it than not be there at all, but in every way you’re better off not having it with you. Even off or in an EM bag, if they take it from you, they can look for ANY reason to hold you, and if they just SUSPECT you, the hole in your provider connection record is EXTREMELY suspicious. If you don’t have your phone and they don’t have photographic evidence of anything, then you were at home the whole day taking a nap. How will they prove otherwise? If you want to take photos or document what’s happening, a dumb camera is a smarter move.
One more time…
LEAVE YOUR PHONE AT HOME.
IT IS A POCKET GOVERNMENT SPY
We know that trump was lying about Renee Good and Alex Pretti because people had their phones with them.

If you’re truly that revolutionary then more than enough people will post for you.
“The revolution will not be tweeted.”

Or make an EM cage mask for your phone.

Good point.
Guess I’m not going to the protests, I can’t imagine not having my phone on me.

Like an elon mask ? A shield that’s able to hide any and all evidence.
We should coat it in his skin, and see if it works.
