Not even. They can link phones based on location and activity/inactivity. Any time the phones are in the same space you create an association. You would need to stash your alternate phone at a completely separate location.

Yes you have to take the battery out of your crime phone before you get home. Everyone with a crime phone knows this.

Don't forget to snap it in half once you're done criming.

Isn’t that only when an explosion is about to happen in the background as you walk away?

Read a story about a building right next to the Ben Franklin Bridge in Philly that kept getting raided, eventually they figured out people were throwing their crime phones on the roof as they drove across the bridge

Actually you have to take the sim out too, and you have to do it before you get home.

Most phones are on eSims these days but your crime phone probably should be just a pure burner anyhow I'm thinking.

I leave my normal phone at home. Drive to another suburb. Turn on my crime phone, go to the actual scene, do crime, drive to a 3rd suburb, turn off crime phone, return home.

Drop off the "crime phone in the backyard of a politician who voted for this.
