The Judoon were known for their strict obedience to the [[law]] and their brutal efforts in maintaining it.

([[TV]]: ''[[Smith and Jones (TV story)|Smith and Jones]]'') Even on crucial missions, Judoons would obey local laws and signs, including [[road traffic|traffic]] laws and "Authorised personnel only" and "Pay and Display" signs. Similarly, they would follow mission procedure rigidly and always get a form signed when commandeering transport. The Judoon were trained to use all known forms of transit, albeit not very well in the case of [[car]]s.
