Yes. While they might seal for some time, it is illegal in many (all?) states. You would also be undertaking a huge liability if it were to fail. A flaring tool is cheap enough.

Re: Compression fittings on brake lines?
Brass compression fittings are for use with copper/brass tubing. The soft brass sleeve doesn't 'bite' into a steel line. I've seen SS compression fittings bite properly into a steel line. SS compression fittings are specialty fittings used in corrosive environments and are very expensive,strictly a industrial item.
