More details to this question:
I signed a non-compete clause with a former employer. I am NOT doing anything to violate this clause however I am hearing that he has a private detective spying on me to make sure I'm not violating this agreement. If I'm doing nothing wrong, abiding by all rules in this agreement, can I press any charges on the employer?

Hiring a private detective is not illegal. From your question it appears that you only learned about the private detective through hearing about it. The detective didn't contact you or bother you in any way. I don't see any harassment or any laws that have been broken.
