I know this is an important point to hardly anyone else but me but......reporters were asked not to show pictures in an effort not to compromise the investigation. They agreed to do so out of an abundance of caution and being good citizens.
But the Fifth Amendment prevent government censorship. They cannot order reporters not to take pictures of a search if the pictures were taken in a way on private property (with owner's consent) or on public property that did not interfere with the investigation.
Off my soap box now
BEM: Do you mean the First Amendment?
