Ken,
Tell that to the SP that pulls you over and has you disconnect the trailer brake lanyard, take off in first gear, and HAVE the trailer hold you in place! That is the test the LEO will do to you to verify your brakes are working. OR< they could have you go to say 5 mph, hit the brake lever in the cab, and the trailer had better stop both of you!
That is how I have been checked a few times with my equipment trailer.
