Set up syncthing on your phone and whatever other device (laptop/pc/another phone at home/etc). Point it to your photos/videos folder and sync to your device at home(or friend's house). If your phone is confiscated and they manage to get it deleted from the cloud, you'll have a copy on your device. Make sure you enable settings like trashcan or versioning so the files deleted on your phone aren't auto deleted on the device.

This. One-way sync to a home server/NAS or secure cloud storage that is not logged into on your phone (e.g. if you sync to NAS or a cloud service, don't be logged in on other apps/web). if your phone is taken while filming, it Won't upload until it's done recording. The agents will probably hit stop, then delete. you'd have to do some testing to see if that will stop the sync.

It is my understanding that iOS does not support Syncthing.
