A group of MEPs in the European Parliament's demand the UK sever all ties to an EU police database. The UK is not part of the passport-free Schengen zone but was granted partial access to the so-called Schengen Information System (SIS) database. The EU-run SIS database is used by police to track down undocumented migrants, missing people, stolen property, or suspected criminals.
But an internal report details some 29 pages-worth of violations since 2015, which included making outdated unlawful copies.
"They are abusing the system. They are behaving like a bunch of cowboys," said Dutch MEP Sophie in't Veld, accusing the European Commission of failing in its duty to protect European citizens.
