I cannot believe they are actually banned, the leaf blower is like the state bird over here (maybe right after the ever present LAPD helicopter). Seems like a stupid easy ticket if the LAPD decided to spend the literal 10 minutes it takes to find one of these guys operating daily in absolutely every single neighborhood, but such is the nature of law enforcement in CA (Not to mention Chief Moore probably hires some guys with gas powered blowers for his place too).
