Shared here for public benefit.

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.

Take out the SIM card, turn off WiFi, download Jami or Briar and switch on Bluetooth: tada, you now have own Bluetooth network to communicate with others privately and securely. Anybody can do it.
