I'm grateful for these clarifications. > The European Arrest Warrant is just a technical means. I'm reminded of a story about a British man who was sent to Romania on an EU Warrant, and languished in jail for two years awaiting trial, on a charge that was not a crime in the UK (don't remember all the details). > Part of the point of the EU is to align the legal systems of its member countries That's EU over-reach, and one of the reasons I supported Brexit. The fact is that any attempt to align the UK legal system with (e.g.) the French system is doomed; the British legal system was established about 800 years ago, and people have relied on it over civil matters (wills, property, contracts) and criminal matters (juries, police conduct etc.) ever since. Even the way that laws are drafted is very different. I appreciate that Free Movement assumes some level of judicial interchangeability; but in fact UK and EU judicial rules are not interchangeable, and can't be made so. And yet, prior to Brexit, Free Movement was a thing; so apparently judicial uniformity wasn't really needed to make Free Movement work. For what it's worth, I'm not opposed to Free Movement; that's not at all why I supported Brexit.
