Yes, but it may depend on what charge the bench warrant was issued for, and whether the state will extradite for the offense or not.
A bench warrant is a bench warrant whether it is issued by a criminal court judge or a civil court judge.
My "friend" has a bench warrant in Idaho for a felony probation violation. On the state issued, mailed copy of the warrant paperwork, it reads "Idaho Only" or "Extradite Idaho Only" (something to that effect, my apologies, I only caught a glimpse of it). Does this really mean that if she moves to a southern state (Mississippi, Alabama or Georgia) that even if she got stopped for a traffic violation or somehow attracted the attention of the police, that Idaho wouldn't waste the money to extradite her from there back? And also, will she be able to get a driver's license issued in her new resident state?

This doesn't make sense: a person who has been served a bench warrant is arrested and brought to the court that issued the warrant. However if the warrant has a bond amount specified, the person posts it, then doesn't show, then another bench warrant will be issued for a higher or no bond.
