A fixed wheel counts as a brake, though I've only seen the law in relation to bicycles which require 2 working brakes not sure how this applied to unicycles.

In Germany a fixed wheel does not count as a brake, and passionate fixie drivers will have a rear brake installed but never use it.

The signs on the rim of a brake that has been used is frowned upon by o̶b̶s̶e̶s̶s̶e̶d̶ passionate fixie drivers.
