copyright vests in the author of a work. In this case the author would be the photographer. As the photograph was taken by a public employee in the course of his/her employment with the employer's equipment, this is likely a work for hire and owned by the employer(florida). As Florida is a government, the copyright becomes public domain. Thus no copyright can be enforced.
