Unless there's actual contact or harassing letters / messages etc. it's basically impossible to prove and what is and isn't illegal is also very fuzzy. For example... if it's simply "constantly being in public spaces that you are also in" then it's hard to see where any law is actually being broken, if there isn't some sort of direct harassment going on, or a restraining order in place and (in the UK at least, not sure elsewhere) I believe it's very hard to get a restraining order unless there has been past violence, or the threat of violence.
