I calculated risk and reward of driving them to a scrap yard 1.5 miles
away, after evaluating their condition (brakes freed up but not working).

The reward outweighed the risk.

As long as didn't get caught...

I'd guess if had on even one it would've changed the outcome
drastically...at least here they'd charge mightily for even the smallest
infraction and an inoperable brake would likely be big bucks...

I suppose if the distance is short enough and back-roadsy enough odds of
pull-over were pretty low.
