This one may even be worse than normal. That fake sovcit plate says "US DOT" and has the Federal Department of Transportation logo on their fake plate.

Could this sovcit be charged with impersonating a federal official?

source 1

source 2

"The impersonation must be of a federal officer (see Massengale v. United States, 240 F.2d 781, 782 (6th Cir. 1957)), and may be affected by verbal declarations as well as by the exhibition of a counterfeited badge or a false certificate of authority."

Does the US DOT really use the Klingon insignia? Or something looking erringly similar that is?

it looks nothing like the Klingon insignia unless you count “some amalgamation of shapes” in your definition of “erringly” similar.

Furthermore, it completely defeats the purpose of sovereigns citizenry. Aren't they supposed to not recognize the government's authority ? If their plate was issued by the DOT, it means they entered a contract with them. Or something like that, not 100% sure about the (lack of) logic here.

SovCits are not anarchists. They are pick and choose fans of government. Which is obvious, right? All the talk about contracts and private travelers or whatever, that doesn't mean shit if there's no government at all.
