Yes, restricting cross-border cooperation between police forces is definitely a win!

As long as they keep co-operating with Saga Norén from Malmo police that's fine by me.

They would have been fine with simply that, just as the UK and EU cooperate with the US police and everywhere else.

But as you must know, it's all the coercive, ever-closer-union, EU common jurisprudence tulip that was part of the package.

Sounds not a good idea but this opt-in involves 22 EU justice and home affairs laws - some may not be so useful. Without knowing the full details (had a quick look but can't be arsed to spend time on it), hard to comment. Although it does seem that the UK opt in allows us to "accept or reject legislation on a case-by-case basis"

If there's a legal back door the issue is not whether or not we trust the EU to not use it, but that's there's a legal back door that needs to be closed.
