Hmm... How odd. I was told after they go a certain distance, basically they are harassing you.

He can follow you and wait until he feels it is safe to make the stop, for both of you.

Are you asking how long he can follow you AFTER he views a violation before he pulls you over; or how long he can follow you looking for a violation.
To look for a violation he can follow you indefinitely.
After observing a violation he can follow you a reasonable distance. The officer can wait until he finds an area he likes to stop you, if you are in a very congested area or a particularly bad neighborhood he may wait. A lot wait for an area with a nice shoulder so he is not standing out in traffic. But if the violation the officer stops you for is an equipment type violation (cracked windshield, bad muffler, etc), he can wait as long as he wants because that violation didn't just happen once.

In most states the statute of limitations for most traffic offenses are about 30 days. So however far you and the officer can travel in 30 days, he can follow you.

An officer following you is harassment?
He can follow you for as long as he likes as long as he stays in his jurisdiction. If you are under surveillance, he can follow you ANYWHERE

I was told I could work from home in my spare time and make $2000 a month. That doesn't make it true.

There is no maximum distance. He can follow you anywhere in his jurisdiction.

It depends on when he runs out of gas.
