Guardian falls for ID hoax

Contrary to a statement in a column yesterday (Since when did trying to have your photograph taken constitute a threat to national security?, page 5, G2) the Metropolitan police do not require professional photographers operating in central London to hold a police permit and wear a radio-linked ID tag. The material on which this part of the column was based was a hoax. We apologise for its use. Link
