God help me, but...THIS


The laws of every state vary but typically, following someone around in a public place is only illegal if there was no legitimate purpose for doing so and an intent to harass, annoy or alarm the other person.

If Zimmerman was following him because he believed the Martin was up to no good and was trying to track him to stop him or help the police locate him, that would tend to be a legitimate purpose and, therefore, legal.
