<h3><b>Look the same</b></h3>
<p>To minimize the risk of being identified by police or surveillence devices like CCTV, protestors including you should adopt a uniform. The best way to do this is implementing the following.</p>
<hr>
<h4>
<ul>
<li>Wearing all black - (<u>long sleeve tshirts</u>, pants, socks, shoes, <u>gloves</u>, <u>glasses</u>, and <u>masks</u>.)</li>
<br>
<li>No jewellery - necklaces, watches, earrings, bracelets, etc.</li>
<br>
<li>Dress up such that you're always ready for a run.</li>
<br>
<li>Do not touch surfaces with your bare hands and leave potential fingerprints.</li>
<br>
<li>Do not carry any weapon that might get you in trouble in the court.</li>

<br>
<p>WARNING/TIP: If you're proficient with linux and have experience using ubuntu touch, you can

firewall.</p>
<h4>
<ul>
<li>Check if the <u>secondary phone</u> you want to use is compatible with grapheneOS/lineageOS or not. Only proceed if it is. Otherwise, don't use a secondary phone at all.</li>
<br>
<li>Back up any important data and flash your phone with grapheneOS or LineageOS after a factory reset and check if it booted in your new ROM. DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY WIFI OR CELLULAR NETWORK. Now switch your phone off.</li>
<br>
<li>When you're about to leave for the protest, go far away from both - your home and the protest site; and factory reset your Graphene/Lineage ROM phone again and connect to nearby wifi from the WiFi list you got from openwifimap.</li>
<br>
<li>Put the phone in a faraday bag at all times when not in use.
