How to unlock the Fakeloo achievement in L.A. Noire - Definitive Guide
This guide holds up from the 360 edition of L.A. Noire. I did mess up once and if you Quit out of the the game (Dashboarding) instead of reloading the checkpoint, you can still get this without having to restart the entire case.

About halfway through the case you will have to tail the suspect Henry Arnett. First you follow him in a car. Stay a safe distance away in your car and be careful to not hit anything and alert him. Once he reaches the pawn shop you will have to follow him on foot. Stay back as far as you can and when possible press on objects to go incognito. Eventually Arnett will cross the street to the right side. Continue following him on the left side of the street to make it easier on yourself and only cross the street once he's gone down the alley. If you mess up just quit out and reload so you start back at the Arnett interrogation. Once you've completed it the achievement will unlock after the cut-scene with your partner when he's talking about the cigarette case.

*Missable* This trophy is achieved by successfully tailing Henry Arnett, first in a vehicle and then on foot. You must keep from being detected through this entire tail. ANY restart due to being detected or failing and you will NOT unlock trophy. If unsuccessful, "quit out" and "resume," which will start you at the station interview room prior to the tail. Once completed, the trophy unlocks during a conversation with your partner over an item recovered from a pawn shop (NOT immediately after completing tail).
Remember when following that the red icon of the suspect will flash to indicate either too close or too far away. When on foot, stand close to objects and press to go into Incognito (cover). Do not use sirens, strike vehicles or move too quickly (like running) or you can be detected.

There shouldn’t seem to be any problems with the car part of the surveillance: just keep your distance, don’t use flashing lights, don’t ram oncoming cars and generally don’t attract unnecessary attention.
For the walking part, here is a video tip . The main thing is, after you cross the road, do not lose sight of Henry for a long time, otherwise the surveillance will fail.
You will receive the trophy after the video and dialogue with your partner.
Also, along with this trophy, you will receive The Shadow (if you did not receive it earlier).
