turning off your cell phone isn’t going to do what you want it to do

law enforcement can analyze your metadata, locate that disruption in your patterns, and use that to prosecute you later, if they choose. if you go out, if you protest, if you and others engage in disruptive events, consider leaving your phone at home and on, or with someone you trust to continue engaging in your patterns (texting, using social media, etc.) as another necessary step in covering your tracks and protecting yourself in the future.

if you have to communicate in the field, use prepaid, disposable phones that are not connected to you or people you know, or two-way radio. strictly speaking, though, its best not to communicate in any way other than directly while in the field. set up meet times and locations and organize movement directly.

in our times of big data, removing all evidence of involvement includes the creation of data. stay safe yall
