Is Judge Dredd a psychic himself?
In the very beginning of Dredd (2012), when the officer asks Anderson about the person who's with her, she begins to describe Dredd and her head tilts and she says "I even detect". The officer cuts her off and says "That's enough.."
Now, when Dredd is shot by the armor piercing rounds of another judge and drops to his knees he asks the other to wait.. And as he does and enters his monologue, Anderson shoots and Dredd responds, "Wait for her to shoot you".
So does this mean that Dredd is a psychic?
Best Answer
Dredd in the movie was by no means a psychic. The scene that you're talking about, Judge Dredd after he was hit by that armor piercing round and was sitting on the floor he might have seen Anderson coming behind the bad guy after he had moved right next to confront Dredd which would have made him say wait to buy him some time.

Answer 2
The interview scene you describe was discussed here and is, in my opinion, nicely explained.
No, I don't think Dredd is a psychic. There too many tell-signs.
For example, the scene before MaMa clan starts shooting those three big guns. He had to go there and take a peek. A psychic would read it from the nearby corner. As we see, he goes by his guts and brute force. That's the only way for him.
Also, he wouldn't have to ask why Anderson didn't bring her helmet; he'd know it already, if he was also a psychic.
The Dredd is The Law. That's his alpha and omega. And, since the movie is following the comic very closely (and was much praised for that by the fans), I'd say there is no chance they wanted to include anything like that.
Answer 3
Dredd is a clone. He was cloned from the DNA of the first Chief Judge in 2066.
That's what she was sensing in all likelyhood. But Dredd doesn't know that yet at this point in the movie - it was a nod to the in-crowd.
