Are any brands/models known to be safe in this regard, ideally being usable without ever connecting to a network?

I saw a poster in a shop window with the text "Save our car parks. Sign the petition." WTF is wrong with people? Of course, this is the same shopkeeper who was very upset when they pedestrianised a nearby street a few years ago (almost everybody else loved it, and the area is much improved).
