last year some messenger in PDX lost a court case, apperently in oragon a fixed rear wheel is not a break, beacuse only people of certin abilty and physicial stature can skid tyre on dry level pavement, where as others cant.... presumably with a break caliper, you do not need abilty (like muscel controll of the fingers) or physical stature (like fingers) to use it.
