Most people in the US are wanted for stupid stuff, like not being able to pay their parking fines.

It gets worse: many are essentially wanted for being the wrong skin color. A lot of laws disproportionately impact people of color. AKA systemic racism.
Downvoting it doesn't make it not true. See this article for example:
