How to secure your phone before attending a protest
-
I disagree about saving numbers, you should add your emergency contacts and anyone you went with in case you get separated or shit goes down
-
I wouldn’t bring paper directions unless they lead to and from a place that ISN’T related to you. Somewhere you know you can get to and from by heart but is a public place, for instance. Don’t give away a beautiful map from your home address To the protest.
-
At least you didn't call it a camcorder.
-
remove the battery
Don't forget a portable heat gun, suction cup and prying tools. /j

Again. IF we decide that "paddy wagon" is a slur toward the Irish, it is specifically a slur toward Irish cops. And fuck the police.
Simple as that.
Like I said, I'll try to avoid it in the future because even though there is very little evidence that it is even a slur toward Irish cops, it sounds enough like one that I would rather avoid it. But I am not gonna lose ANY sleep over oppressors getting their fee fees hurt because people don't like them.

But seriously, unless there’s some reason to stream live, old tricks are sometimes still the best tricks.
Cops who know they are being recorded MIGHT behave slightly better. It is why they are so hellbent on never wearing bodycams ever again.
An SD card on the person of someone being thrown in the back of a van to have an "accident" on the way to booking? Not so useful.
-
Bring an old point and shoot digital camera though. Pics and video might keep you from getting locked up.
-
It really just depends what shenanigans you intend to get up to. No method is perfect, and it's good for everyone to remember that there's multiple options available.
-
Which search engines would do that?
-
If it came to that, the SD card would be confiscated and/or the camera smashed.
-
Please execute in a dust and static free environment.
-
Start protecting your privacy by not visiting the Verge and the 876 partners they share your personal data with.
-
Or just... memorize them?
(Does nobody do that anymore?)
-
Buy a camera. Record. Then when you get back, scrub the exif, then upload.
(Hopefully you got a Tails USB ready)
-
Can we revive radios?
I mean, yes they can triangulate transmissions, but (As far as I know) they don't have IMEIs, and you talk in code to obscure meanings.
You turn it off before going home, and there's no tracking, don't transmit from home and its fine.
For evidence, bring a camera.

I still remember some of my school friends' phone numbers form 30+ years ago, but I have difficulties remembering new people I meet. My brain is weird.
-
I heard prints are unique and have a hidden pattern which can be mapped to a single printer. Not sure if this is true.
-
What, you don't have a portable clean room with you all the time? Amateurs...
-
That's long term memory for you. Normal when you get old.

I participated in plenty of protests but haven’t made any acquaintances. I think internet is a better space for meeting people.
Not to mention sometimes a protest starts peaceful and then goes to shit.
Taking a look at the Tesla protests it’s just no-impact feel-good thing. Liberals have too much of disdain for non-economic violence.
