Fair enough, but the problem is that has way too many factors. There's a thousand different ways to tell where cops are, even if you can't see them.
I'm pretty good at "sensing" when there's a cop ahead myself. I don't claim to be able to sense radar, but I do have a pretty good subconscious idea of where they probably are. This comes from the layout of the roads, the behavior of the other drivers, the way people (and cops in particular) think, the time of the week/month, etc.
Not saying your friend was lying intentionally. He probably believed it entirely. Most people who take these sort of tests have total belief in their abilities. It's just that a proper test doesn't depend on other factors, it's testing for the specific claimed ability.
Being able to tell where cops most likely are, even to a great degree of accuracy, is not really a paranormal event. Being able to sense low power radar without any devices or assistance would be. The two are not really the same thing.
