Throughout the years there's been many useful information shared on staying safe during protests as well as many infographics made. What are some safety tips you've learned and some infographics you've saved?
here's an article i have saved about tear gas and a video of tips and tactics used by the hong kong protestors and an infographic

Based on what I know, this can be achieved in two ways:
If you remove the SIM card and don't connect to any hotspot ( obviously ), then your phone is just a camera, but the issue is that you'll want to broadcast live, so you'll need an Internet connection.. So
Android deliberately scans for open WiFi and Bluetooth endpoints even when these functions are disabled by the user. Google knows exactly where you and what you're doing, and LE can just buy your data from them a week later and prosecute you.
That is not true and it is a dangerous assumption for someone planning to antagonize law enforcement.
A phone that is powered on, even with no SIM or WiFi, would still be able to track your location. It still has GPS-GLONASS-Galileo, it still has a cell radio, it still has Bluetooth, etc. How do you think a phone can let you still call 911 even with no SIM?
This article offers a high level explanation:
https://robots.net/computing-and-gadgets/mobile-devices/tracking-a-phone-without-a-sim-card-explained/
Unless you leave it home or physically remove the battery, your phone can still be used to track you (given the resources that a state can bring to bear.) If you aim to misbehave, do not trust your phone.
I mean that's what I tried to say, SIM cards are the biggest offender when it comes to phone tracking, since they're linked to your ID card, it's such an easy method of tracking, unfortunately the article doesn't go in depth ( as it claims ) on how to leverage GPS tracking for example, which brings me to my second question
SIM card is the primary method used, it's so easy and available, the government will for sure take advantage of such tracking capability, but since the article doesn't give any example of how can GPS tracking can be achieved, like we know that the SIM card pings cell towers all the time, and it transmits unique IDs, and you buy it with an ID, you get the picture.. in the case of other tracking methods, it's seems ( to me at least ), that the attacker ( the government in this case, not necessarily the US government ), has to invest in extra resources to leverage such tracking capabilities that use obscure methods, how much that's question? they must be really motivated
Again, this is a false and dangerous claim. Your continued denial makes me begin to suspect you have an ulterior motive, but I dont have energy today to waste on you, so I will be blocking you. Good day.
Your SIM card just grants you access to any particular network, your phone can still be tracked off of its serial number or IMEI as other towers in the area, regardless of whether or not they are your carrier, will log the devices that pinged the tower.
This MIGHT be ok with a burner phone if you paid with cash, but they could still pull data from in store security systems of the purchase by tracking the phone to the point of sale with its IME, if they were sufficiently motivated.
It might work, But it's a gamble I'm not willing to take.
