So San Luis Obispo county has had a bad check program since 1989. The victim must try to cash a check twice before they can access the program (once if the account is closed). The person who wrote the check will only be charged if they fail to comply w/ the diversion program 
Tara’s charge was likely from a check that bounced, but that doesn’t mean it immediately triggered the charges. The check would have had to bounce twice (once if account was closed) and then Tara would have not complied with the diversion program.
