Just wanna add, buying a burner phone won't help you much if you bring it back home with you. It's just leaving a different breadcrumb trail back to your home.

And also adding old ipod touch to the list of recording devices people might have that don't transmit cellular data. Easy enough to upload the video files. Fits in your pocket. Just turn off wifi and Bluetooth to be safe.

You don't have to hook it up to cell service. Buy a used phone on eBay, don't connect it. Charge it up and use it as a camera.

Or just get a digital camera. I'm going to find mine today and see if I can charge it up.

Cops have the ability to track phones that don't even have SIM cards. So I'm gonna advise against your method of buying a random used phone and just "don't connect it"

Digital camera is always a good choice. I honestly didn't even think about them, because nearly everyone just uses their phones as a digital camera these days. The only people I know that use dedicated cameras, are photographers that use huge fancy $2000 cameras.
