When it is "following you" (I assume it's your own drone doing that not some unknown person trying to tail you ). The law says YOU still must be in full control at all times. YOU are still piloting it which is "the law" and must still be in full control of it.

I think this explains it:

eCFR :: 14 CFR 107.19 -- Remote pilot in command. (FAR 107.19)
(Don, correct me if I am wrong!)
