    I’m pretty sure the SIM still connects to cell towers even if you have mobile data deactivated

    Edit: on most phones it prevents the connection but there are still other ways to track like GPS

      The GPS data will not be sent to the carrier, will it? And your phone will only be searched if they can tell its you in the first place. In which case you got caught physically there anyway.

      Also this no id thing is confusing to me. I guess its just american law. In many other countries, they just jail you until you tell them who you are.
