How to Protest Safely: What to Bring, What to Do, and What to Avoid
www.wired.com
If you’re planning to hit the streets, here’s what you need to know.

Apropos of absolutely nothing, a few random pieces of advice that you may or may not wish to follow.

I would also suggest you travel to the protest on foot, or by public transportation. If that’s not possible, park a good distance away and walk in. If you’re ubering (or whatever), have them drop you at a business a few blocks away. Makes it harder to link you to the protest later.

Also get the number of a good lawyer and write it on the back of your hand in marker that won’t rub off. Pieces of paper can be taken from you. Your hand can’t.

    Just bring a burner phone with a camera. It needs to be filmed and streamed so they can’t take evidence.

    Honestly, at this point in the fight, if they track you that’s the least of our concerns. We need to shoot this whole thing down so they don’t have the power DO anything with your tracking data.

      Be careful how you acquire the phone. Every phone has unique identifiers (IMEI). Even if it isn’t activated with service it is still talking to cell towers and can be tracked. If you used a card/bank account/most crypto to buy the phone, you’re already compromised. And, again, this is still true even if you never activated a service plan.
