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.

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.

Well also just the brown ones.

I'm assuming the light/dark filter gets applied before they're ever incarcerated, but yeah, plenty of pre-judgement goes on at all stages of police decision making.
