And you could stream for a while via your phone. Mine makes a lovely wifi hotspot, and with my battery pack, I can stay on for over 8 hours.
Blinking LEDs are easily subverted also. Back in the day, with the huge VHS camcorders, I recorded concerts on the request of the musicians. To keep from distracting people, I had cut a small piece of electrical tape to cover the LED. Sure, they saw me with the camera, but the light wasn't on, so I "wasn't" recording. Even when you're shooting with permission, people act differently with the camera pointed at them. The best shots and videos have always been when it doesn't look like I'm shooting.
With film cameras, photographers were known to pretend to shoot rolls of film, just to get the model to loosen up and get used to the camera. It was usually around the 3rd roll of "film" that they'd actually put film in the camera. Now with digital cameras, it doesn't hurt so much to really take the pictures, even though you'll just delete them after. Worst case, you have to swap a few extra memory cards. Any decent photographer has a pocket full when they're out on a shoot anyways.
