Laws come in two flavors, One is state vehicle codes, which vary from state to state, Some states trailers as low as 1500 pounds (Possibly less) must have brakes, other states you can hit 2 tons without them.... legally.
Then there is civil law. This comes into play when you accidentally rear end someone.. And if they understand the physics of stopping.. You are WAY better off with brakes on the trailer. Way Way better off.
