The Judoon were known for their strict obedience to the [[law]] and their brutal efforts in maintaining it. Crimes like physical assault towards a Judoon incurred the [[death penalty]], without chance for trial. The [[Tenth Doctor]] described them as logical, but stupid, and they seemed to favour methodical patterns of behaviour to a fault. While they would always attempt to arrest any criminals, they were quick to execute them if they did not comply. ([[TV]]: ''[[Smith and Jones (TV story)|Smith and Jones]]'') [[Judoon captain (Gangland)|A Judoon captain]] once stated that Judoon preferred to eradicate law-breakers, rather than incarcerate them, as this was the cheaper option. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Gangland (comic story)|Gangland]]'') They also did not have the patience to be polite and request assistance from civilians; having held Tegan at gunpoint to make the [[Fifth Doctor]] comply with their inquiry if he had an object in question, completely ignorant to the fact he would have complied if they asked nicely.

Even on crucial missions, Judoon 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. ([[TV]]: ''[[Prisoner of the Judoon (TV story)|Prisoner of the Judoon]]'') Their strict compliance with an established order even made them despise development even with their culture, and those who went out of their norms were often ostracised. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Judoon in Chains (audio story)|Judoon in Chains]]'') They also had a complex statute of limitations, as they arrested a version of the Doctor who was several centuries older than the one who committed a crime.
