12. I agree with the majority that the "writing" to which section 1280 refers in this context means the initial entry of the conviction information into the computer database, not the retrieval and printing of the information from the database. (Maj. opn., ante, 91 Cal. Rptr.2d at pp. 701-702, 990 P.2d at pp. 577-578; see Aguimatang v. California State Lottery (1991) 234 Cal.App.3d 769, 798, 286 Cal. Rptr. 57.)
