Police Uniforms With Multiple Cameras For VR Goggle Playback

Take the same tech they use in robo cars and apply it to police officers.

Was always a great supporter of body cams on police, but one isn't enough. Camera and recording technology is so advanced that now you'd be able to have an officer in an incident be recorded in real time from many camera in various positions, hat, shoulders, gun even shoes and back. Go back and with a VR headset look 360 degrees anywhere in the incident scene, zoom in, have a complete view of everything, more even than the officer saw.

I'm kind of stunned that in this day and age we've still got only a single camera and we're relying on onlookers holding an iPhone.

Cameras with 3D tech are cheap, this really needs to be done. Police incidents should not be made any more controversial by single blurry single body cam recordings.

       However they do the 360 view in modern cars is clearly the way, I assume just 4-6 wide-angle lenses.   

       Also, if sports replays have taught me anything it's that slow motion makes everything look a lot more intentional and dramatic. Full speed replays required I fear.
