Some one has possibly fitted a single filaments lamp in your stop and tail holder, if it is that you should replace it with double filament, as the single contact on the lamp has bridged across the lamp holder contacts powering your whole lighting circuit everytime you touch the brake, it should be easy to diagnose this as when you put your lights on your brake lights will illuminate too
