Good luck with that in a court of law, but besides that many vehicles like my Ford F-150 have been designed to be towed on all fours. It's in the owner's manual how to prepare it for that pretty much most of the Chevys too.
Motorhome magazine seems to think brakes are required.
"The Laws of Towing
In most states, anything towed behind another motor vehicle must have brakes. Some states have varying weight restrictions which dictate that vehicles and trailers over a certain weight must have brakes, or the combination must stop within a specified distance. Considering that RVers travel often from state to state, it basically becomes a legal requirement to have dinghy brakes."
