Still bunk.

Simply driving, nothing is going to "happen" with this hitch. In a
collision, the violation and/or liability is with the driver at fault for
the collision. Not with the hitch or its owner.

"Home made" has *nothing* to do with it.

Read the law. I cited it earlier. Florida makes absolutely no specific
technical requirements for hitches, only that you have "sufficient strength
to pull all weight towed" and that you have safety chains or other 49 CFR
devices. You can tow with overcooked spaghetti if it has "sufficient
strength".

People tow cars with rope and granny knots every day. Nothing illegal about
it.
