“I gave up on the police when I was told by a detective that intentionally writing a bad check was not a crime but a civil matter. The detective should have just told me it wasn’t worth his time. Further incidents included numerous businesses not filling out property reports, purchasing jewelry and rare coins from minors with no penalty. It made me realize the police care more about the chamber of commerce and take revenue than protecting the public.”
It is the same with theft. Unless it is a very very small town, all they are going to do is make a report and tell you to “turn it into your insurance company, hope you got pictures”. They ARE NOT going to make any effort to pursue it any further than that.
Thing was that this bad check came from an event that happened on the county fair grounds and a little research showed dozens of other bounced checks at other events across the country.
