Best Answer

For many years a protective helmet was not required in many US states, including California. There was strong rider resistance to such laws or regulations. However, police motorcycle officers wore helmets for safety, to prevent head injuries in an accident. Thus, California along with many other states began to mandate helmets in motorcycling. It's been this way in California for many decades.
