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. ([[TV]]: [[Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)|''Fugitive of the Judoon'']]) 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.

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 reject development even with their culture, and those who went out of their norms were often ostracised.

=== Communication and scanning ===
The Judoon had [[Judoon scanner|scanners]] which would tell the Judoon the species of the scanned being. However, the scanners could be fooled by previous close contact with another species. [[Metamorph]]ic beings capable of altering their internal biology using assimilated biomatter could also deceive the scan. They also were known to use a thick marker pen or stamp to mark "[[Cataloging|catalogued]]" people — those who had been scanned and deemed not to be a suspect — on their right hand.
