A major stadium in Los Angeles has confirmed that it uses facial recognition tech during sport and music events, to spot known troublemakers.

Axar.az reports citing BBC.

The Rose Bowl told news site Gizmodo that it used the tech "inside and outside" the stadium gates.

It made the statement after an article in Rolling Stone alleged that Taylor Swift fans were scanned at a pop concert in an effort to spot stalkers.

However, the companies involved have been reluctant to talk.
