Dinghy brakes or not?

Go to a Home Depot or a Lowe's home center and look around the parking lot at the vehicles and utility trailers the locals are using. Most utility trailers are well under the 3000 pound limit and don't have any kind of brakes. Just walk by and see if any of them have a break-away cable or a battery connected to run the break-away. I bet they don't.
Not to be a smart A$$ here, but if they don't require break away, why should your toad if it's total weight is under 3000 pounds???? Unless there is a specific law written requiring towed vehicles to have operational breaks while in tow? Check with your DMV?
those rental utility trailers are designed for local deliveries, not cross country travel on interstates.
and the OP should check with the DMV in all of the states he will be towing.
