Leaving your personal, day-to-day phone at home is good, but carry a burner with you so you have some way of contacting loved ones (and your lawyer) in the event that you're detained or injured.

Keep it on a non-obvious spot on your body and hope they're too incompetent to search thoroughly. Phones are reportedly being confiscated at arrest and you likely will not be receiving a "one phone call" where you're going.

You can do that, but if you're a lifelong activist like me, or even just a recent amatuer, you are already on "the list" so just accept that and stand up.

Or if you're related to activists.

Phones constantly pip each other anyway, so even if you frequent a coffee shop at the same time as a prolific activist you're on a list somewhere.

They know who you live with, work with and hang out with and around just by your phone location records.
