If you have stuff on your phone you don't want the feds to see do not let it be stored or backed up to icloud. The most secure solution is to back your phone up only locally to an encrypted hard drive with a strong password.
Do not take your phone to protests.
Do not take pictures of compromising things that could place you in legal jeopardy. If you absolutely must do not do that on a phone where your photos are set to automatically back up or transfer (photo stream) to other devices.
Do not share any pictures that could put you in legal jeopardy, the likes you get on instagram for your cool photo posing in front of a felony you've documented yourself committing are actually worthless and certainly not worth the jail time and felony conviction they'll get you.
