Other mistake: Dredd tells Judge Hershey that lethal range for bullets is 300 meters "you're safe" straight after people were being shot and wounded on the ground at that distance.

Suggested correction: Wounded, but not dead. He says they aren't lethal, he doesn't say they can't hit you though. His logic is that they can't be killed by the bullets so therefore they are safe.

Presumably the Judges also have body armour which will protect from extreme range and hence lower power bullets, which civilians wouldn't have.

This. That statement about how it would be lethal even though they're 300 meters away always bugged me (on multiple sites), of course it might be injurious or even lethal to civilians, but I'd expect that Judges would wear armor that would protect them.

They were shot dead, extremely obviously. Huge holes in the stomach.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where one of the "high council" is speaking (behind a desk or pedastal), there is a close-up shot of the highest ranking council member's face. In his nostril you can see a dry booger. They then change the shot and then come back to a close-up of his face. The booger is no longer there. Sorry if this is a bit gross, but I found it amusing.

Brisco: Judge Dredd, take cover.
Judge Dredd: They're firing 20 milimetre caseless flechette rounds at 300 metres. The effective lethal range is 200 metres. You're safe... so what are you doing down there, Judge Hershey?
Judge Hershey: Waiting for backup.
Judge Dredd: It's here.

Trivia: After the fake Dredd kills the judge and his wife in their apartment, the camera then cuts to a street scene in which Hershey is calling in their location as "at the corner of Burns and Allen." This is a cinematic tip-of-the-hat to the legendary comedy team of George Burns and his wife Gracie Allen. She also says they are "at the corner of Abbot and Costello" in the beginning.
