Before going to a protest, demonstrators or observers should note that their cellphones may subject them to surveillance tactics by law enforcement. If your cellphone is on and unsecured, your location can be tracked and your unencrypted communications, such as SMS, may be intercepted. Additionally, police may retrieve your messages and the content of your phone if they take custody of your phone, or later by warrant or subpoena.

      so you’re going yo trust the government funded org to tell you how to not be tracked by the government?

      better yet, you’re going to trust the company that actively works with the government under national defense that wants to track you to protect national defense?

      no thanks. I’d rather be safe than detained.
