I mean, it’s still a liability. If you get arrested, and they don’t have direct evidence of your doing something, your phone can’t incriminate you if they can’t get their hands on it.
I mean, it’s better to be there with it than not be there at all, but in every way you’re better off not having it with you. Even off or in an EM bag, if they take it from you, they can look for ANY reason to hold you, and if they just SUSPECT you, the hole in your provider connection record is EXTREMELY suspicious. If you don’t have your phone and they don’t have photographic evidence of anything, then you were at home the whole day taking a nap. How will they prove otherwise? If you want to take photos or document what’s happening, a dumb camera is a smarter move.

Good point.
Guess I’m not going to the protests, I can’t imagine not having my phone on me.
