I was thinking about an uber or courier service that takes your phone for a walk

Pretty much relying on the assumption that investigators will find stationary phones suspicious when they spy on you

Could put them in those charging lockboxes seen as airports and festivals, the infrastructure is already there

Guess I’ll market it to climate activists in europe lol

edit: maybe those delivery robots are even better couriers, since it fits the idea of getting a courier to come back to you better than an uber on the other side of town. risky but the fun kind.

If a stationary phone is suspicious, imagine how suspicious it'll look when prosecutors show someone was using that service.

Can you fake it with an app somehow instead?

Antenas can ping your location and track your movements. There's nothing you can fake here.

Put your device in front of a vertical metallic plan and have it vertically rotating slowly. You are now walking around your house. Wouldn't this work?

Walking around your house isn’t evading anyone or anything, and it’d be too periodic.

You need wider range, more chaos, but mainly consistent spoofed behaviour.

Just leave the phone on a bus, somewhere hidden. Then "find" it later, or call the bus service if need be.

I want to charge people a subscription service

Given most activists are at university or are associates with university attendees, you should target it to students. One downside would be that it would only work within term time.

A bunch of radios confusing thousands of gps devices seems better.
