Do not count on your phone being able to be used in a bad situation. Expect that law enforcement will issue a blanket "wipe" order for all phones used by patriots and bystanders in areas like the Bundy Ranch so all communications, pictures, videos and voice records will be gone. At a bare minimum, store everything to removable media and swap those out regularly. Even better to have a regular digital camera to do your recording on (and swap out media regularly to prevent to old fashioned grab and smash method of destroying evidence.)

Or just use an conventional camcorder. I know of someone who still uses a 1970's era era video camera with a battery powered portable VHS recorder sling over his shoulder. A bit heavy but it works. There is also a reel-to-reel version too. Myself, audiowise, I still prefer to use 1970's era cassette recorders.

And I say again, people going into those situations need to use a service like Justin.TV which will broadcast the video to the world, and store it on Justin.TV servers.

Then the goons can do what they will but video taken before they throw the switch will still be available, not to mention it having been seen in real time (by those watching your "channel").

Could be as easy as, "I'll be broadcasting at 0800" to let folks know to watch... and they can be digitally recording as well.

A easy way around this. Do not keep your phone turned on.

They can’t wipe it if they can’t find it.

My cell phone is for me to call up other people and bother them but not for them to call and bother me. I only turn it on when I use it.

Or do the latest versions not have an on/off switch?

The first thought of many including me.
