In NY most shops are also NY State DMV inspection centers. The shop "if it is an inspection location" has the right to scrape off the inspection sticker if the owner chooses to have it towed away. This does not apply to simple worn out brake linings. It has to be hydraulic failure related. Same goes for dangerous steering components.
In the case with the kids and the van You didnt mention if your brother actually pulled it into bay and inspected it. That would change things

No he did not. He never looked at the vehicle.
