* Why don't the Judges have a cadre of bodyguards to keep them alive? The judge system was made so that they could carry out sentences directly on the street, but why do they have to work alone? What's stopping the Justice Department from maintaining a separate corp of enforcers whose only job is to accompany the judges and back them up during shootouts? Even two bodyguards per judge would probably improve their chance of survival considerably. It also can't be that much more manpower intensive than the current system where every judge have to go through a draconian selection process only to die like flies anyway.
** to be fair, the only judges who die in the movie are the ones set up against Dredd. Judge recruits may die like flies, but the ones that make it to Judges are probably a [[OneManArmy one mam army]] anyway. And maybe Judges don't usually go alone or even have bodyguards and Dredd is just different.
