I am sure you all did this, but just in case - if you go to a protest; turn off your location services. Better to not bring your phone at all and use a cheap disposable or something...
At this point, the idiots at the capitol are mainly getting arrested because they had their location services on lmao.
Edit. I’m being told that my boomer tier understanding of phones is problematic. Read below plz.
when the hardware's a black box we have no way of knowing if taking the battery out is even good enough.
just leave the phone at home depending on the sensitivity of the action. pre-arranged rendevous, etc.
i guess better safe than sorry is always the best way
