airplane mode + WiFi calling. you shouldnt be on your phone while youre driving, and most places have free WiFi, then install a Google free custom ROM to your phone such as LineageOS, iodeOS, GrapheneOS, RestlessOS GSI, or CalyxOS (whenever they come back)

    The article doesn't say what methods the police in NV are using, so it might be effective against that particular approach, but in general, airplane mode doesn't prevent phone tracking.
