Can confirm this.
Anyone who was familiar with the Normal Game Guidelines (e.g. me) would have known that Judge Dredd was literally scumclaiming with the parity cop claim, since
even if
Parity Cop were whitelisted (I'd have to double-check to see if it were), it would not function in the way described.

And given that Normal games no longer allow graylisted roles, not even variants on whitelisted roles...Dredd's parity cop claim was literally impossible to exist in the game.

the setup was by no margin townsided.
Also echoing this. The setup was either balanced or slightly scumsided. Jailkeeper, Loyal Fruit Vendor, and Motion Detector are all situationally-powerful roles, but they have almost no synergy with one another, are in most situations not fairly strong roles in that aside from the Loyal Fruit Vendor they require perfection in order to be of use; the motion detector needs to target the scum making the kill or else is worthless and the jailkeeper needs to target either the scum's nightkill or the scum killing or else is worthless; the jailkeeper can't protect the loyal fruit vendor and can only protect the people provably fruit vended to.

The wiki wrote:Normal Games must use only approved roles, and can use any combination (so long as there is at least one Vanilla Townie) in conjunction with approved modifiers.
This is the relevant section; you can check the approved roles, and Parity Cop is not one of them as of the last wiki update.

You can track Normal Guideline changes here, since half of the NRG's current job is actually in continuously providing updates to these sorts of things now. Just iso implosion; if he lists a change, then that change is now Normal. Anything not listed and not on the wiki is not.

And checking there, Parity Cop is in fact not whitelisted, and thus, not Normal.
