Sounds like a bad bad idea to me. When authorities realize that you have outwitted them they are going to beat you up, torture you or simply kill you. In countries like Pakistan, Turkey, India or China you body might later be found floating in some gutter somewhere. A better idea would be to simply hand over the camera to cops and save your skin. There are two strategies of surrender when a defeat in imminent. Political surrender: You fight till your last breath and make it difficult for the other party to win. Military surrender: When defeat is imminent it makes sense to surrender without a fight and cut need-less losses. I think journalists when confronted with a certain defeat must embrace second type of surrender instead of first.
