Actually, making copies of checks (by machine) is not illegal, as long as you’re not trying to cash said copies. I make photocopies of all of my checks so that I have them for my records come tax time. (I don’t get paper bank statements.)
Checks often have a security feature in which part of the background is printed differently than the rest of the background. When photocopied, the pixels in the background will and the scanner in the copier will create an interference pattern causing “VOID” to appear on the copy.

Yeah, there are still places that will develop your film for you, but you need to choose carefully. One of the things that finally drove me to digital (TEN YEARS AGO!) was picking up my prints and finding out the lab had screwed up my prints. I used a simple point-and-shoot camera (Olympus Infinity Jr, then later a Fujifilm Zoom Date). I had one roll from 2005, shot on a beautiful, cloudless day, come back with the prints looking like it was about to rain. I had another roll, from 2004, come back with double prints I hadn’t ordered, all of which had washed-out colors—so 96 prints, all with bad colors.When I bought a scanner with a transparency attachment in 2008, I scanned the negatives from both those sets. The negatives were fine, it was just the prints that were bad.

My camera can do that, but I don’t. Speaking of film, where does one buy film nowadays?

Obviously the word Rufus meant was “photocopy” not “photograph”.

My stepson’s mother went to jail for something similar, she wrote checks and deposited them, then withdrew money that didn’t belong to her.
