This is correct. Story time!

A friend of mine was arrested due to a warrant from an unpaid traffic violation ticket for driving without proof of insurance. It wasn’t paid because the ticket was dismissed after they later showed they did have insurance, but this was not recorded in the proper system.

Five years later, they were arrested after being pulled over for a burned out brake light. They spent most of a day in jail. Luckily, they kept proof of the dismissal, otherwise they’d have been held accountable for the government’s mistake. No compensation was provided for their time in jail and missed work. Murica!
