Definitely don't remind people to leave their phones at home or use a Faraday bag to shield their tech.

    Indeed. Not having those signals to trace could make it significantly more difficult for law enforcement to identify you, and we certainly don't want the essential job of law enforcement to be inhibited.

    Also people shouldn't be wearing masks. That would be make them even harder to identify for law enforcement.

    Camera can still track you with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, keep that in mind

    Only the most dastardly vandals would leave their phone (and all other Bluetooth devices) at home, plugged in charging, auto-lock fully disabled, on their home WiFi, with YouTube set to auto-play a playlist. That would create a watch history that the vandal could later use to prove that they were active at home at the time of the crime. Again, you definitely shouldn’t do that.
