    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.

          Completely depends on the country

          Yes but this thread is about something happening in France, so I wasn’t talking about US laws…

          While true, they can still give you a hard time. If you simply don’t have one they can’t do much about that.
