The fact that he was arrested for missing a court date, which by the way is a huge no-no as well, and also doesn't have his very important documentation... Not good. I am a Canadian citizen and lost my passport, and trust me when you loose stuff like that they get pissed. I wasn't aware it was missing for a couple of months due to a move where my mother packed some of my stuff, and they basically treated me like I had given it to someone for illegal purposes because I hadn't reported it right away. Clearly they couldn't have deported me because I'm a citizen, but they did threaten to never give me another passport again, or if they did only a temporary passport for specific dates that I would have to prove before travel (luckily I am a dual citizen, so if they did that I would just use my other passport).
As for badmouthing the cops, I can't speak for the first cop you mentioned because I don't know the procedure for suspending one's license in your area, but I can see how that could be shady and frustrating. But don't blame the cop who arrested your bf for taking him away from you. The cop was just doing his job, your bf didn't obey the law by missing his court date and thus took himself away from you as a result of his actions.
I don't want to sound too harsh because I respect that you're going through a lot right now, and I applaud that you are being supportive and making it through this. But let's place the responsibility for this situation where it belongs.

His mom has a copy of the Visa. It's not the exact Visa because that was stolen, so they gave her a copy of it. That's the only one they have as of now. But at least they have it and at least he has a valid passport which just recently got renewed.
Coming to America is a pain the ass. I also know that for a fact because my parents and my whole family has been through the process. Luckily for me I was born in the US. I'm just starting to understand the whole situation and how to get him situated when he comes home.
Like said before, in the system, some but not all cops get different information. No one made it clear it was suspended until the last time he got pulled over. If it had been suspended for a long time, the State trooper should've taken it away from him, but he didn't. The county police that pulled him over took it away, but let him drive home. He really had no idea his license was suspended when he got pulled over.
Seeing the way the cop talked to my boyfriend, I can tell he was a total jackass. It's not bad mouthing, more of speaking the truth. I have never seen a cop talk to one in that manner so that made me furious to begin with. My boyfriend was very cooperative with him and he was flat out disrespectful. I even told him he didn't have to get an attitude. He cut me off when I tried to explain something to him and so I kept cutting him off as well. I personally don't give a damn who the authority is. If someone disrespects me I will tell them off. If I see something that isn't right, I'll say it; I don't kiss ass.
Okay, so some of you guys are saying cops are doing their jobs. Are they really doing their jobs when they let criminals go? I'm not just speaking on behalf of my bf's case. I had so many experiences where white cops let white girls/guys go, but when they see a minority, they go after them. Okay, so what did they do? Nothing! Cops just try to find a reason; especially at the end of the month.
1] A friend of mine got pulled over for following his GPS in the HOV lane.
The cops pulled over about 5 cars; they all happened to be male drivers. A girl drove pass with no passenger, the cop looked up and didn't tell her to pull over.
2] A cop stopped a friend for dark tint? When he checked, it was legal. The tint was legal from the dealership to begin with. Then he made up another excuse after he felt like a dumb ass. "Your exhaust is too loud." Stock exhaust? Are you kidding me? There goes a ticket. Didn't he feel like a fool in court.
3] This white boy was racing with my brother. My brother was in a SUV and had no intentions to race and the guy was driving a sports car with a loud ass exhaust and speeding all over the damn place. He had so many other cars high beaming his ass. The police pulled over my brother for honking at the guy and cutting him off. My brother almost got into an accident from the guy cutting him off continuous times.
