Entire article here: Just a moment....
Massachusetts had a law making it illegal to drive with a hitch bar and ball attached when not towing, but the law was repealed a couple years ago. I got pulled over a few years ago in Mass for doing just that, but was only given a warning since I am friends with the Chief of Police in our small rural town. There are also some Canadian Provinces where it is illegal.
