It is ILLEGAL

Displaying bounced checks is illegal. It is considered in an intentional tort under the invasion of privacy. "Public Disclosure of Private Fact - highly offensive publicity concerning the private life of the plaintiff." Thank you to my Legal Environment professor. He used displaying bounced checks as the most common invasion of privacy.

If a customer's check bounces due to insufficient funds what can you do other than hire a lawyer?

You can file either criminal or civil charges. Go to your local police dept for criminal charges or to your local small claims court for the civil action to collect the check. Either remedy works. I always tell people to consult their local attorney when a legal remedy is needed. Call the customer to be certain that they know the check bounced; give them a second chance to make good on it--that day. Most local governments have a reporting office for bounced checks.
