I've tested some and they work good if properly wrapped shut, but probably better for day-to-day use and less for such an event where you'd probably be best just to leave it home. Phones use radio frequencies from 14MHz (NFC) to 39GHz (5G mmWave) with spec up to 71GHz. It is real hard to get a radio wave blocker bag that can block almost every conceivable frequency band in the RF spectrum.

It is also hard to truly turn phones off anymore, many broadcast Bluetooth beacons when powered off, and even outside of that, they leave dead-reckoning tracking turned on that can extrapolate where you may have gone just by how you walk. It is also why a phone turned off can still have a dead battery in a month or two, because stuff is kept running, when older phones truly turned off and you could pick it up a year later and still have a charge.

If you don't want to be tracked down afterwards based on your phone's location, turning it off will suffice.

If you fear to get arrested, you should just leave it at home or somewhere it cannot be found too easily.

You can't just turn it off?

So. I have had some recent experiences that have been....... Very educational about a lot of the less thought aspects of technology that most people take for granted. H Most faraday bags you can buy are fucking garbage. None of them hurt in the grand scheme of things but they more involved this but I can't do calculus so feel free to do the math). At around the 5 and 6 ghz range (guess what frequency wifi 6 and 5g operate at?) the gap size in a faraday cage needs to be something like 1-2mm.

Of course you're not talking about a farDy cage, but a shielded bag. So buy one, close it with the Velcro clasp, and ask yourself: how snug is sealed Velcro? How much can I roll this up? And all the other myrad questions that lead to the same fucking conclusion: this is not the radio blocking solution you thought it was.

This isn't to say you can't buy a faraday bag that works (even if it does you may need more than one) it's that as the frequency it gets increasingly difficult to block the signals coming in and out.

And I don't understand the math, at all, but I'm not sure how the power of a signal would effect a faraday bag. Like.im assuming it would but.

Anyway..my point is: if you're bringing a faraday make very, very, very,VERY fucking sure it actually works.

How do you do that? I'm not 100% be t I'm pretty sure the equipment needed is complicated and expwnaive.

Someone more knowledgeable can expand on any of this, . Since everything I've learned on the subject has been severely limited by the fact that the Internet is a fucking wasteland.

Try wrapping it in aluminum foil. You can test to see if it works by trying to call your phone from another phone while it's wrapped up.

Last time I checked police depended on pensions too and they are invested

Even if the system isn't completely rigged by then, it's been proven time and time again that the average voter has the attention span of a toddler on sugar. I'm afraid what happens now, three and a half years away from the elections, will have no influence on the elections.

They are going to let the protests grow. By next summer, there will be massive protests about all sorts of bad stuff. Just pick your issue, there will be a protest for it. Most cities will have multiple mass protests over multiple issues simultaneously.

HitlerPig will encourage his RedHats to stir up some standard street violence, then send in the authorities to quell the violence with ferocious lethal violence. Many will die.

He will use that to justify Martial Law and suspend elections for the first time in American history. He can't afford to allow the House or the Srnate to flip, and give the Drmocrats control of investigative committees with subpoena and arrest powers.

This map is missing the one planned for Cal Anderson Park in Seattle, which is likely to be the biggest in the area (popular protest location).
