Unfortunately that's not how it works, they have a right to block off roads deemed disaster areas for the security of both you and those in the area.

Newspeople know that taking pictures in this type of situation can be dangerous because of downed power lines and other hazards. You do not have the proper training to be a photojournalist and should be kept away from disaster areas. You probably would get in the way of the real working press. Hooray for the police. They did the right thing and could have saved your life. My advice to you is forget about being Clark Kent.... Matt is correct.
