I can't help but notice that Judy's methods aren't allways the most admirable.

First of all, there is the way she scaled the ice wall during her police training by climbing on the other aspirants. I can't say I have any better idea of how she could've done it, but I'm pretty sure that SHOULD be agianst the rules, and it's also dramatically unsatisfying. When I see the little bunny face seemingly impossible obstacles, I want to see her persevere through determination, cunning and creativity, to show that she could find other ways of doing things other though she couldn't and that she can do things they can't.

I found her jumping on the other climbers to be unsatisfying, because desperate as she was, it shows that she's ready to leech off the accomplishemnt of others, and that's not exactly a good way if you want to prove yourself. How is she supposed to prove everyone wrong by taking advantage of others to complete a task, especially considering there won't allwyas be people's heads to jump on if she ever has to climb a real ice wall, which it is implied she might.

Then there is all the blackmailing and legally shady and impropper stuff she does. If she finds that Jerry Jumbeaux Jr. is in gross violation of health codes and serving people unhygenic products, the propper thing to do as a police is to hold him acountable, not just use it as leverage to make him go against his biggotry just to be nice to some random fox she just met.

Then there are the ways in which she manipulated Nick into helping her, by blackmailing him with the confession of his tax evasion and tricking him to climb over the fence. I guess I can see how this could be justified, there was a lot at stake and she had the odds against her, so it may well have been for the best that she played a little dirty to get Nick's help, instead of just putting him behind bars. Besides, in the end, Nick was reformed, so philosophically speaking there is not much reason to unpruductively put him behind bars for a crime he (hopefully) wouldn't repeat, especially seeing as he's now a police and has more potential to help society as free fox than in prison. (It would however be more propper if he also did something to repay the tax debt he owed the city)

But that doesn't change the fact that she's a police, her job and duty is supposed to be to upphold the law, even if it was ultimately for the best what she did, it was still unproffesional and impropper.

Then there are her dealings with Mr. Big. Seeing as he is a ruthless (although appearently honorable) crime boss, how is she supposed to square the fact that she's now an honorary relative of his with the fact that he has and is still ready to kill people? I guess the fact that she got his help to get info out of Duke was somewhat more premisable seeing as she wasn't a police at that particular point and there was a lot at stake.

Most of these things aren't really big issues to me, but they kinda rubb me the wrong way, as generally nice and nobel as Judy is, it's clear her methods aren't allways flawless solutions that exemplify what a cop should be.
