Narrative:

Level at 14000 ft going into san, controller pointed out traffic 3 times. Didn't see it. TCASII went off commanding a 1200 ft climb. Responded, then saw aircraft, deviated +500 off assigned altitude estimated missing aircraft by 500 ft. Filing report because I don't trust or believe FAA won't try to violate us due to leaving assigned altitude.
