The consequences of riding brakeless are pretty far reaching. Anything can happen which could be attributed to riding without brakes (there are recent news events that can be referenced to this).
If you want to find out about legal consequences I'd suggest you speak with someone who would be applying that law - not a forum of cyclists.
I think the general consensus on here is that you should ride a bike safely and sensibly with respect for other people - so if that means to you that you put a brake on your bike, then do it.
And, yes you sound like a reporter.
