It doesn’t have to be illegal. Your insurance can deny a claim if they feel there is negligence. Insurance companies don’t make money for paying out claims. Something can be legal but still morally wrong. I haven’t seen a toad brake away in real time but I have seen the aftermath and it’s not pretty. I was moving to Dallas years ago and saw what happens when a tire comes off a toad at 70 mph.

Court and insurance are way different. Insurance is a private company and can pretty much do as they please. Court cannot find you guilty without a law being broken. Civil court also has to find based on laws.
I have searched for accidents caused or worsened by a lack of brakes on a TOAD and have not found any. In every case it was excessive speed, or following too close. I havent even seen a TOAD break free.
A tire coming off a TOAD would suck, but in that case I am not sure extra brakes would help much.
