I don't know about where you live, but in this area anybody that tenders a device for payment for goods and or services rendered when there is no money to back that device up can be locked up if you press charges.
The process here us quite simple. I take the check returned for insufficient funds to their bank and request a "refer to maker" form from the bank. costs $12. Then I take that check and the paperwork from the bank to the local sheriff or state police and they take over from there. Here they will actually knock on the miscreants door (home or place of business) and ask if this is his check, he says yes, and away he goes. Usually his bail will be slightly more than the bad check and will go to make restitution to the victim after he has to retain an attorney and be processed through the system.
