I suggest going for an alternative like micro video cameras. You can buy one in the form of a working pen, others that are smaller than a pack of cigarettes with a remote camera that can be hidden behind a button.
Using a cell phone or camera makes you an obvious target for the forces in power.
So long as the entrenched powers can operate by their own rules with almost endless resources, our best option is to fight back with stealth and guile.
We can't afford having one person in jail for a week, or a month, or a year if they could do the same work without risk.
