&quot;No it doesn&#x27;t&quot;<p>This is true but not for the reason you cite. It would be stalking if they make a statement that will place the person in reasonable fear of harm.  If they did that, in most states, it won&#x27;t matter whether they are doing it as cops or not.  Some states have &quot;no lawful justification&quot; in the text (which would protect police), but most don&#x27;t.<p>Various states do have laws that would cover this that are not stalking (violations of various invasion of privacy, wiretapping, etc).<p>Most are written in the way that it will be unlawful even if they are police.
