  We know that trump was lying about Renee Good and Alex Pretti because people had their phones with them.

    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. It’s just smarter.

      Nah.

      With a phone you can have it automatically upload. Can’t do that with a digital camera.

      The best advice is to get a burner phone bought with cash with a plan also bought with cash.

      A phone can upload automatically, so even if they take it the video is out there.

      Just use a burner phone bought with cash.

    No, we know because somebody recorded the video. They’re not exactly the same thing.

    If you’re truly that revolutionary then more than enough people will post for you.

  Definitely don’t bring your own homebrew stingray device to scrape data from the personal phones of gravy-seals.

  No, seriously, it’s probably a huge FCC violation.

  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.

  Or make an EM cage mask for your phone.

    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.

      Good point.

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

        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.

    Like an elon mask ? A shield that’s able to hide ang and all evidence.

      We should coat it in his skin, and see if it works.
