In some states surge type brakes aren't legal... or at least the older ones aren't. I understand there are surge brakes now that have a different setup than the older style. But some state laws require the brakes to be operable at all times. Traditional surge brakes don't meet that requirement because there's no braking unless the vehicle is going fast enough and the trailer weighs enough to activate them.
