I haven't had many bad interactions with the Judges honestly. I don't have any feelings one way or the other about them, but one-senior-member has cast them in a bit of a bad light for me
The first time was when I was on my merc a few months ago, and I saw some Judges at Newark. I went in and engaged with the bounty, and the one member docked(after taking hull damage) while the other afkdied.
A few minutes later the member logged onto their bomber, along with 3-4 other Judges (Don't have the screens anymore, don't know an exact number), and they hunted me down and engaged me, including the one that was technically pvpdead. After the engagement, none of the Judges said anything until I left the fight, calling me a coward for running away (even though I dropped 3 Judges and expected one that ran off to get his GB). I even mentioned to the member that he was pvpdead, but I got no response
A little bit ago (yesterday specificly) I was on another ship that had Judge in its name. I was doing some hunting, since it was a merc ship, and I found the same member I mentioned above. As soon as I was in range, he PM'd me about how Judge was protected. I ignored him and engaged as usual. After he died, he sent me another PM saying that the "violation will be reported". If you want screens of the interaction, I can give them, but it didn't help the Judge image with me.
On a lighter note, I'm seeing you guys less and less around Newark, which is good in my books
