And breaking the rules is pretty much always justified.
Well, for cops shows and in the format.
Spoilers for House. The later seasons actually came out during the time when shoes were moving from episodic to serialised. And as the show had always recognises House as being very reckless, it was easy to write an overarching plot to the later seasons where he actually faces consequences for his behaviour and personal problems.
So unlike in cop shows, House actually does face the issue of his drug abuse and his abusive behaviour. Even going to prison at one point, albeit not for any medical shit he pulled.
The show definitely has a strong anti-authoritarian taste compared to cop shows. House is a philosopher and always improving and questioning morals whereas cops just "follow orders" and break the law to achieve "justice" (which they have a perverted view which they got through shitty propaganda and don't question.)
