The following excerpt is from People v. Rodriguez, G045482 (Cal. App. 2013):
Counsel requested we address two other issues. The first is whether the foundation for the cell phone records and other data extracted from the cell phones was sufficient. We conclude that it was. Evidence Code sections 1552 and 1553 establish evidentiary presumptions that printed representations of computer information and digital photographs and video are accurate representations of what they purport to represent. (Evid. Code, 1552, 1553.) The party opposing such evidence has the burden of producing evidence to cast doubt on the accuracy of such information, and no such evidence was introduced here. (See generally People v. Daugherty (2011) 199 Cal.App.4th Supp. 1.)
