Can't quote the statute, but you can look it up yourself if you want. They are considered a "dangerous weapon" if they have the metal clip that attaches them to the brake lever. For more information, check this link.

Here's a excerpt from the site including the statute.
"Certain prosecutors and law enforcement agencies throughout the State are busting people with Getback Whips by labeling them a “Slungshot” which is a prohibited weapon in the State of California."
"A slung shot has been defined as a weight, as a stone or a piece of metal, fastened to a short strap, chain, or the like, and used as a weapon and is prohibited by California Penal Code §12020."

I think you're thinking of tassles and not a "Get-Back Whip". The tassles are usually attached to both the clutch and brake levers, the leather strands are not braided together, tied onto the levers with leather only, and are for looks. With Get-Back whips, there's typically only one on the bike, the leather strands are braided, is attached on either the clutch or brake lever via a metal clip and can easily be removed.
