      Yes. And remember that some of these things also track your phone (I believe via Bluetooth and the like). So I would suggest leaving any valuables at home where they’re safe!

        Here’s a fun fact about Bluetooth, with the BLE standard apps can communicate directly with devices, and essentially hide from the system of your phone.

      turn off bluetooth and put your devices in airplane mode when doing so

      get grapehene or /e/os

      and wear heavy duty work gloves, a hair cap, and a large hoodie and mask to cover your frame and structure

        I wouldn’t trust airplane mode to not transmit any data, so I leave all devices at home when protesting, etc.

        I would also recommend putting a rock in your shoe, to throw off your normal walking gait. They can identify people by how they walk as well.

          faraday bag then?

          and if you can, faraday bag a flock camera if you can, and dismantle it at home

          its just an android device that enables adb if you press the button at the back enough times

            I saw someone else that also said you should stick the cameras and related hardware into a faraday bag, so the battery and transmitter will run down over a week, and you can then scrap the hardware.

            Faraday bag is a good thing to have for a lot of reasons it seems.

              you can spray paint the lens, open it up outside your house and take the battery and antennas out

              then you can use your own powersupply to power it and boom you have a free phone
