sounds like a good reason to target any helicopters flying overhead with green lasers.
Think a drone could get up above it and drop something into the propeller?

Drop it on the tail prop so they start spinning and get hella dizza and throw up.

This first thing you should do when going protesting, is to leave your phone at home.
If you think you need a phone, it should be a burner.

though the actual audio sounds like they're making a joke, they could very well have the plates and do that
This would likely be done through cell phone tracking devices like a stingray, not plates. I don't know how many people are in their cars at a protest.

I wouldn't trust a foil bag to do anything 100%.
the only 100% way to not be caught is not bring it.
it also provides an alibi. "see, my phone was here all day long."
I mean, a proper Faraday cage will block anything unless the US government has figured out how to break the laws of physics...

The police are violent thugs everywhere, not just Republican cities and states.
It's because they have almost complete immunity from being prosecuted for wrongdoing and also, well, they are incredibly well armed and often use their monopoly on violence to threaten blue politicians.
I grew up in a city where cops didn't like their own chief of police because he wanted to drug test the force regularly after several got caught doing drugs on the job. The chiefs own force stalked him, harassed him, made violent threats against him and his family, until he was ran out of town. The police union sued him and said drug testing them violated their rights. The police union won in court. Those drug tests never happened.
Police unions give unions a bad name. Fucking thugs.

I'm talking about an actual faraday bag, not a foil bag. That, combined with a powered off device keeps you fairly protected. They aren't going to get into your phone if it's powered off.

There's going to be a deviation in usage regardless, it's not providing an alibi. A gap of time when you're not using your device that you normally would be is a marker they look for. They key is keeping them locked out (again, power them off).

A proper Faraday cage, a truly excellent one, just the most Faraday of all the cages, is easily defeated by physical attacks such as getting your phone cloned when you get mass arrested and summarily released on OR.

As someone who lives in Hurricane Alley, have you tried just not living where earthquakes happen?
That seems to be the standard response of those in California when a hurricane hits my area...
You won't have much of a choice when FEMA is gone. I mean, less and less people will have homes there anymore.

And now the DEA's got a chopper in the air,
I wake up screamin' like I'm back over there,
I learned a thing or two from Charlie, don't you know?
You better stay away from Copperhead Road.

Cool...
This one goes out to all the small government, privacy loving, Republicans out there, supposedly hating invasive big brother tactics and representing the values of the American heartland.
Would be much appreciated if you could have a word with your people about this.
Can you imagine 6 dudes with AR-15s, nothing fancy, responding that that threat? One wonders what might happen.

That burner cant ever have connected to a cell tower when its near your house, otherwise its not longer a "burner"
Edit: Also: Beware of the possibility of there being malware that logs gyroscope and accelerometer data. Those info can be used to figure out your location, then transmitted whenever it has a chance.
-
Having a small faraday bag around is useful too, that's what I do.
Not good enough. Phones can figure out its location using gyroscopes and accelerometer, then if at any point in the future, you remove it from the faraday cage, your entire movement logs are transmitted.

Faraday cage does not prevent gyroscopes and accelerometers from working. Then if you remove it from a faraday cage in the future, it will transmit all that movement

Unless your device is already compromised, that information isnt being logged when the device is powered off so it's kind of moot.

I bring my phone. I likely won't be breaking any laws, and I can afford a lawyer. So yeah arrest me and waste the system's time. Just another data point they have to sort.
And if it gets to the point where none of that matters we were cooked anyway

I would be shocked if they aren't equipped with puke bags for such an event and then your plan is foiled.

Lawyers operate in courts. We don’t have due process anymore.

I'm an American, but my only experience with LA was traveling through for 2 days about 10 years ago. AKA no experience with LA.
This action appears to be originated from LAPD and therefore the local LA government. I have always considered LA to be deeply blue, and would therefore think that their local LA government would be Democrat, not Republican.
So should this not be the local blue voting populace having a word with their blue elected politicians?
LAPD is not under the control of any government. They have literal warring gang factions within the LAPD. It is an occupying junta force.

"powered off"
Unless I'm holding the battery in one hand and the phone in the other I don't trust it being turned off either.
