As far as I know. It's related to "Dead-beat Dad" laws. When you ask
for any state service they are required to check whether there are any
"outstanding character related issues". I am not sure whether this
extends to checking whether there are any outstanding warrants for your
arrest, but I guess if not it is only a matter of time before that is
added, along with any profiling that might suggest whether you may be a
potential terrorist.

Welcome to be world of efficient networking and computer databases - I
wish I was joking.
