How could they prove you were break checking? It seems like it would be easy to lie and say you thought you saw something running across the road and hit the brakes just in case it was a kid or something. Plus tailgating is also illegal, which their dashcam footage would prove

Which means both of you would get a ticket/citation/fine/etc instead of just one of you.

Brake checking was a popular thing to do in my state before dashcams were so popular and affordable (assumes the person behind is at fault, but brake checking is also illegal). Someone with money is clearly able to afford dashcams, hence, don't brake check rich people thinking "they have more to lose than I do" because you just think it's only your car that's at stake.
