no it isnt, slamming on your brakes is not illegal, what is illegal though is insurance fraud(and thats the reason why its illegal, brake checking not something you get cited for afiak)
there is no standard for what situation you have to brake for, so hypothetically if you were to see a squirrel run out in front of your car, and slammed on your brakes and the person behind you happened to rear end you, you would not be at fault
now if you intentionally made someone rear end you(IE cutting the guy off than slamming on your brakes), you would be at fault because you are the one who caused the accident and you will get in a whole legal mess because insurance fraud is illegal
