Abstract
A 360° camera system that eliminates problems associated with capturing real-time encounters between first responders, i.e., law enforcement personnel (such as police officers) and civilians such that all individuals involved in the encounter can be held accountable for their actions, wherein multiple cameras are provided, e.g., two to three cameras, consisting of cameras that acquire images in a 360° range, as opposed to conventional cameras that shoot up to a range of 170°, such that questions about sequence of events and their circumstances are eliminated.
