Evidence Code section 1552

A printed representation of computer information or a computer program is presumed to be an accurate representation of the computer information or computer program that it purports to represent. This presumption is a presumption affecting the burden of producing evidence. If a party to an action introduces evidence that a printed representation of computer information or computer program is inaccurate or unreliable, the party introducing the printed representation into evidence has the burden of proving, by a preponderance of evidence, that the printed representation is an accurate representation of the existence and content of the computer information or computer program that it purports to represent.

(b)

Subdivision (a) applies to the printed representation of computer-generated information stored by an automated traffic enforcement system.

(c)

Subdivision (a) shall not apply to computer-generated official records certified in accordance with Section 452.5 or 1530.
