In Oregon it is a cite to be operating without a working e- brake away. Because it is considered a safety issue. Unknown about your states laws. Would the police know, only if your stopped for something else and than only if they check it. But, what if you get into a crash and someone is hurt. It will be checked, even if the non working break away was not a factor. How the insurance or civil liability ends up? everyone will try to point to you as being at fault or worst.
