If you have a movie playing while your driving, and a cop catches you...they can definitely pull you over.

So besides being probably a little bit illegal, I'd say find out how the computer senses the parking brake is engaged (a wire, a switch, electric connection, etc.) , and then trick it into believing the brake is on all the time...
I'm not sure how yours works exactly, so this is the best advise I can give. Hope I could help

State law here says no tv's in drivers view. This includes any aftermarket or factory "in dash" dvd players you might have going when the vehicle is in motion on a public way. I would imagine most, if not all, states have this law in the books.
