Because they open up your closed crankcase ventilation system so engine pollutants can escape untreated to the atmosphere. That defeats the operation of your vehicle emissions controls.
And the fine should have been closer to $400. Count your blessings.

I was given a summons to court, with the possiblity of a $500 fine. You're very lucky.

there is no purpose to this. you will probably GAIN power (however insignifcant it may be) by providing a vacuum on your crankcase by leaving it like factory, connected to the intake.
