Many other judges fall under Rabid Cop combined with Hanging Judge, many of these cases also being Dirty Judges. Street Judges act as police, judge, jury, and executioner. Capital punishment in Mega-City One is rarely used, [49] though deaths while resisting arrest are commonplace. Numerous writers have used the Judge System to satirize contemporary politics.

Judge Rico Dredd. Judge Joe Dredd's older "brother," also cloned from Chief Judge Eustace Fargo and initially superior to him in physical skills. Soon after Joseph and Rico Dredd became Judges, Rico became corrupt. Joe arrests him and sentences him to twenty years on the penal colony on Saturn's moon Titan. Twenty years later, Rico seeks revenge, and Joe kills him in self-defense. [54] Even the Undercity that the Big Meg is built over. In addition to Troggies (feral humans who descended from New York inhabitants), all manner of horrific and sometimes supernatural predators live down there, including, but not limited to, vampires, werewolves and ( Xenomorphs). Some judges even choose to take their long walk down there on account of its general chaotic nature. The film was shot in 3-D and filmed in Cape Town and Johannesburg.

It included the slogan "13 years punk", referring to how long the band had been together before they broke up.

Judges, once appointed, can be broadly characterised as "Street Judges" (who patrol the city), and administrative (office-based) Judges. The Justice Department is responsible not only for law enforcement, but is also the government, since the United States was overthrown in 2070 following the Third World War, which devastated much of America. The Judges are a ruling class, the ordinary citizens having no participation in government except at the municipal level. Dredd was once offered the job of Chief Judge, but he refused it. [50]
