Some of those episodes didn't just "make it seem", they stated outright that the Time Lords "did bad stuff all the time back in the day". In <i>The Five Doctors</i>, for example, the past use of the time scoop to "recruit" combatants for the Death Zone was stated as well-known fact and none of the Time Lords in that episode disputed it at all. Nobody but the Time Lords themselves could police the Time Lords. It's not just that they had the technical means to fend off anyone who tried, they also could (and rather often did) edit the memories of any witnesses to wrongdoing. People who can so easily get rid of the evidence can't be policed effectively. --[[Special:Contributions/2.96.28.144|2.96.28.144]]<sup>[[User talk:2.96.28.144#top|talk to me]]</sup> 18:18, December 27, 2011 (UTC) | Some of those episodes didn't just "make it seem", they stated outright that the Time Lords "did bad stuff all the time back in the day".

While I am completely fine with ineffective policing, I am also tempted to think that Shadow Proclamation in Rassilon Era could have included Timelords. Judoons were only employed and the Shadow Proclamation probably has more people at some point than just the Shadow Architect. We know RTD's original idea is that Shadow Proclamation is comprised a range of species in its headquarter, and in Rassilon Era, it is quite likely that Timelords were also involved in some of the decisions, seeing that they are a part of the proclamation. I would imagine that Timelords would have been represented in some way. --[[Special:Contributions/222.166.181.70|222.166.181.70]]<sup>[[User talk:222.166.181.70#top|talk to me]]</sup> 21:14, December 27, 2011 (UTC) | While I am completely fine with ineffective policing, I am also tempted to think that Shadow Proclamation in Rassilon Era could have included Timelords.

More importantly, from what we have seen, Shadow Proclamation only deals with things that may potentially cause large scale conflicts between species from different planets. This is certainly not something that Timelords are known for, so I doubt there would have been many opportunities for the policing. --[[Special:Contributions/222.166.181.150|222.166.181.150]]<sup>[[User talk:222.166.181.150#top|talk to me]]</sup> 21:20, December 27, 2011 (UTC) | |||
