The Ministry of Defence's 'private' police force is using wide-ranging powers to stop and search thousands of tourists and other suspects, it can be revealed.
Armed street patrols, who are not required to identify themselves as MoD officers, are questioning people queuing for boat trips on the Thames or having their photograph taken in front of Big Ben.
Officers - who are routinely armed with sub-machine guns - say they are targeting those who match "certain profiles or behaviours" to deter terrorist attacks.
