"Can he?" Well, did he? If so, then you get to argue it in court. Only the opinion or your attorney, and ultimately the DA or judge, will be of any importance. Yes, police can 'follow a crime' onto private property. You don't get to run and hide, and then jeer them from your property line.

Yes. If he can prove he was in hot pursuit.
