Why do you need an ID? Leave it in your car if you're driving.
I don't think there's a single state that requires you to actually carry documentation.
These are the states that require you to at least verbally state your name, and only if the officer has reasonable suspicion that you have or will commit a crime.
They can ask your name. You may not have to answer.
Research your state's law on this before you go. It's in the link.
There's legal requirements, then there's practical dealings with officers in the field. Seems to me that these days if you're "undocumented" you're asking to be sent to processing which can be a quick trip to a center somewhere across the country, if that's the mood they're in. After you get out you can try to sue them, maybe even win, but how long before you collect your damages?

They’re detaining people with Real IDs for hours at a time. It likely makes no difference.
When they've got a cell full of detainees and they're deciding who ICE is going to ship to "advanced processing" who do you think goes to the front of that line? I'm guessing it's the "undocumented," regardless of whatever laws you're focused on.

And get a burner.
Yeah. And, leave the other at home. Somehow, that mutual exclusivity between devices made me write "or". Hehe.

Leica digital or chemical film?

Its important because you endanger not just yourself but anyone who is possibly linked through your activities. Your actions are your own responsibility. If you are able to protect others in this Situations you should.
And i hope you only document voilation oft power with your leika and not others protesting.i don't know what you just said but the whole point of a protest is to disrupt in order to be seen.
I went to jail for trespassing. same as everyone else. its bullshit.

Before going to a protest, demonstrators or observers should note that their cellphones may subject them to surveillance tactics by law enforcement. If your cellphone is on and unsecured, your location can be tracked and your unencrypted communications, such as SMS, may be intercepted. Additionally, police may retrieve your messages and the content of your phone if they take custody of your phone, or later by warrant or subpoena.
YOU DONT BRING IT.

By leaving it at home.

Set your phone on top of a Roomba that has scheduled cleaning throughout the day.

Pointless, unless you leave the roomba running outdoors. Indoors you don't have GPS coverage, and your phone is logged onto the same cell tower anyway. Might just leave it stationary at home, same outcome.

Buy a Burner.

Even with a libre OS and all radios turned off? (So to use the phone as a camera and offline navigation)
I feel like it could still get damaged or used as evidence in court if you get caught up in a crackdown.

They likely have the data to show it didn't move at all. Eg it wasn't on your person.
You underestimate how much of a couch potato I am. Not moving is normal lol.

Even sitting on a couch moves your phone more than simply laying on a table. They can use accelerometer data to determine how, if at all, it moved.

This. You've got to ask yourself, what your goal when interacting with law enforcement is. It it your goal to stand up for every right? Or do you want to get away for the interaction as easy as possible?
Let me give you an example of what I mean. I Denmark police can stop and ID you without a cause. You don't have to provide an ID, but you have to state your name, address, and birthday. If you don't, then you'll be arrested. Our SSNs consists of birthday and a checksum. You're not required to state your SSN checksum, but if you do state it, the police will have to pay you if the stop is longer than 10min.
So giving the police a little more than they're entitled to, can get you out of the interaction a lot easier.
Of course you can stand up for your rights, and if you want to fight, then do it. But it will make your day harder.

If your phone is powered your location can be tracked.
Secured or not: your location can always be tracked.The rest is doubtful, always assume law enforcement has access at will.
Just don't bring it.

You definitely can get GPS coverage inside. It's entirely building dependant but I'm inside right now and if I open GPS it'll just work.

When I shut the lid on my work computer I assumed it was "off" or at least inactive. My home network showed me it was continuing to "check in" throughout the night.
Closing the lid typically does sleep or hibernate, both of which can still be active. I've had many windows updates overnight with the lid closed.

For that , someone mentioned a roomba or straping it to a dogs collar..

Your car's GPS is also tracking your movements. If you have a newer car then your phone is only part of the problem.
