Can someone please explain how will this work?

Better to not bring your phone during protests anyways.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would suggest getting one of those faraday bags that block the signals to/from the phone. Then, if you really need it, you can still use it.

If you get arrested during a protest, they can force you to unlock the phone (it can be a felony to refuse) , so better not to bring it at all.
