The Gold Coast Commonwealth Games last year has been talked up as Australia's biggest sporting event in a decade.
And it also provided police the opportunity to carry out Australia's biggest ever mass surveillance operation, with the use of facial recognition technology.
But a report obtained by the ABC, says it was rushed and lacked the data to operate effectively.
Brazil is another country where facial recognition technology has been used at major public events, like Bahian Carnival in Salvador.
