> until they are finally informed that they have a bench warrant out on them for something that happened in 2017

If you’re wealthy and ignore warrants until a traffic stop, this happens to you too.

IANAL and this isn't legal advice, but the example warrants I found issue by a state government only command the officer of the state it happens in to perform the arrest. I'm not certain an officer out of state from the offense would be commanded to serve the warrant, rather than just have the option. And the rich often perform their shenanigans somewhere else so they don't shit where they eat.
