If you have an iPhone you can go ahead and try Flight Mode right now. You'll see that it disconnects from WiFi and disables cellular. NFC, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi stay powered on, Bluetooth stays active. Yes, latest iOS has Bluetooth tracking protection on by default (varies by country, illegal in some), but it is not completely safe. I'm not sure about NFC and Wi-Fi. If you power the phone off it is unlikely to turn off the radios - they are needed for "find my iPhone" and similar features on Google and Samsung Galaxy phones.

Overall you can't be confident that your phone does not reveal your location and identity to "law enforcement", especially in places where police is well equipped to track you.

Find my phone doesnt work if your phone isnt connected to the network, let alone if its turned off. Stop spreading misinformation

iPhone clearly says it is findable after power off

Funnily enough, mu iPhone doesnt say anything about that

EDIT: in the phones that do have it, the find my phone thing works using bluetooth. So still no data directly to the carrier

Your local police department doesn’t have access to this. And they don’t need that, they can just arrest you. You are there in person. That’s the point of a protest.

I run faster than cunts in riot gear. I wouldn't be typing this otherwise.
