Manslaughter charges for improper towing equipment.

This happened locally and I never really believed that investigators would really check into this stuff. http://m.ktvu.com/news/news/local/chp-recommends-charges-fatal-pizza-oven-crash/nhgkX/ D...

Sure and in this specific case the GVWR or towing capacity of the van was not reported as an issue.
Just reading the facts.

I don't know about hitch ratings in the law but I am confident proper use of safety chains and braking requirements are covered.
