Police return camera, cameraman can get back to work

Although this case is ongoing, we see progress. The Concord Monitor tells us that restrictions and equipment confiscation have been removed from Mr. Blackden so that he can get back to work.

<blockquote>
"The Concord photographer convicted earlier this year of impersonating an emergency responder for coming to a fatal crash scene dressed in firefighting gear can once again take pictures of car accidents.

A Merrimack County judge last week granted Brian Blackden's request to drop the bail condition that prevented him from going within 500 feet of emergency scenes."
