Just for clarification, CA require brakes on trailers 1500lb or more.
Boat trailers are exempt to 3000lb.
Law is often behind the life. Years ago road signs here would say "Vehicles with trailers 55mph" and motorhomes with toads could go at higher speed as toad is not a trailer.
Lately road signs were changed to "All vehicles While towing - 55mph"
About 10 years ago, shopping for car trailer in Nebraska was offered 7000lb trailer with no brakes. Brand new and perfectly legal in the state. The observation changed my braking habit a bit.
