I don't think this is true.

Your link seems to confirm that it is true?

It concludes with:

> if you're out and about with your trusty lock picks you're being a little risky, so best to keep them at home!

which seems to imply to me that it's probably illegal to carry them in public?

There are laws against possession of burglar tools in many localities.
Just because there is a law doesn't mean it's a particularly well written or good law. That's what lawyers are for.
The poster merely said "possession"
