Comment on How Do I Prepare My Phone for a Protest?

Leave it at home for a protest if you care about being tracked.
Pretty much all cell phones can be tracked even when turned off.

Could you not wrap it in thin foil to make a faraday cage? If done well it should prevent any signals for going in or out.

Even with libre OS and all radios turned off? (So to use the phone as a camera and offline navigation)

yes, even with all the foss software and radios turned off.
it will still ping radio towers. the only exclusion are phones with physical switches for disabling hardware.

I feel like it could still get damaged or used as evidence in court if you get caught up in a crackdown.
