Yes. Cashing a check that you know is a bad check is definitely a crime. Though cashing a bad check never results in any money being paid, it is still a crime and you can be legally prosecuted for doing so.

Where can you cash a Bank of America check?
When cashing checks, you have two good options (and several bad options). If you take a check to the bank that issued it, and you have good ID, they will cash it for you. If you have a bank account of your own and you have an amount of money in your account that is equal to or greater than the amount of the check that you wish to cash, your own bank will cash it. (Failing that, you can still deposit it in your account and it will clear eventually, usually within days, but that depends upon the location of the banks involved.) There are also check cashing services, but they charge for that service, so I consider it a bad option.
