Schengen has a central database in Strasbourg. The police of every member country will have access to it. If you're a criminal or terrorist thinking the new Europe means you get around scot-free, the same information sharing means that the police in every country know who you are. There's freedom of movement around the EU but the trade-off is the disappearance of the cloak of national anonymity.

Hope this works well but I have doubts that the central database in Strasbourg will hinder too many dedicated Terroist or similar Criminals!
