A braided fusion category is said to have Property F if the associated braid group representations factor over a finite group. We verify integral metaplectic modular categories have property F by showing these categories are group theoretical. For the special case of integral categories C with the fusion rules of SO(8) 2 we determine the finite group G for which Rep(D ω G) is braided equivalent to Z(C). In addition, we determine the associated classical link invariant, an evaluation of the 2-variable Kauffman polynomial at a point.
