Need some clarification regarding brake lights

I only just noticed tonight that my brake lights still turn on when I press the brake with the engine off, accessory off and keys removed, headlights off too.
Just wanted to see if that's a normal thing for FTO's or if I have an issue somewhere, since neither of my parents cars do so.

Any input is appreciated, thanks

Brake lights are always operative whenever pedal is de-pressed.
Same circuit trigger as Hazards.

The stupid factor, is why is this in the entertainment area...
