KimmyKim,
I posted the link for the specifics. I am not familair with the states you live in, but know that every case I am familiar with you need:
1) Proof of intent. This is IMPOSSIBLE if the check was written after delivery - as the person can argue why would they need to write the check when they already have the goods or services.
2) DL# - You need a driver's license number on a check. The Police will not investigate. Telecheck and all the others require this - this is one of the reasons. The state could prosecute, but they won't.
3) Has to be in the same state.
NSF checks require intent. You can not prove intent unless there is multiple checks over a period of time - at the time of purchase.
None of the three things mentioned have occured in this case. If you are able to get a judge/commisioner to swear out a warrant with no drivers license, and no proof of intent - then you need to quit your job and put telecheck and the others out of business.
They only exist, because the police will do nothing in most of these cases.
You are right, it is a crime. So is it a crime to claim back pain in an accident when there is none and rip off insurance companies. In either case - you can not prove it. You can prove it for closed accounts and that sort of thing, but in most cases the police put it with the rest of the files - in the file room.
In the case of a business owner - if there is more than one person signing the checks - you could NEVER prove intent unless there was a bunch over time AFTER the person knew there was a problem.
