This story is going to cause some shit

Scotland Yard has admitted giving MPs inaccurate information by denying "covert officers" were deployed at London's G20 protests in April 2009.

Commander Bob Broadhurst told the Home Affairs Select Committee a month after the protest that no plain clothes officers were deployed in the crowd.

He said it would have been too dangerous to do so.

The Met said the officers were covertly deployed to identify individuals who may be involved in criminal activity.

In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said it had established that covert officers had been deployed to the protests, after officials made thorough checks following recent media reports.
