Heya folks. I want to attend protests, but they are going to happen fairly far from where I live: to the point where it might be harder for me to navigate without access to my phone. I saw a post today that there are Faraday bags you can get to stick your phone in, which will prevent cops from picking up my cell data. Do you all have any recs or experience with these?

Edit: Thank you all for the recommendations!

    If they can grab your location metadata, they can hone in on when your phone disappears and then reappears to the towers.

    If you're concerned about it, leave your phone at home. If you really need to have it on the trip, maybe park in a hospital or touristy place and leave it in the car.
