An interactive simulation of city council members voting to ban or allow facial recognition technology to be used by the police. This "game" was built at the class project for [Network Economics](https://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/criedl/NETS7341/NETS7341-Syllabus-Fall-2021.pdf) taught by Professor Christoph Riedl who provided substantial guidance and suggestions for framing this issue as an interactive simulation to make the cost/benefit analysis apparent and transparent.
