To”stand down” if police are called
People on scanners can hear the call I think some news places have those and listen so they can go to calls of any significance
But if they have been told to do nothing on anything to do with doge then they don’t.
As for cell phones I imagine and a lot of government agencies you might not be allowed to have a cell phone on you to prevent any misuse or pictures, gathering of information etc. that could be taken using a cell phone so you might not have one with you.
As for this place that the no cell phone thing probably wouldn’t be a thing I don’t know so only thing I can think of is at the way it happened. People freaked out and didn’t think to pull out the cell phones, but the cops were called the cops worked in conjunction with doge for some reason.

All of these thoughts are just speculation and possible scenarios
