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.

    people on the internet love to talk about all these great security smart things that they will definitely never do.

    leave valuables at home, wear unremarkable clothes, and write your lawyers number on your arm with a sharpie.
