In terms of suivig theory, I guess there are a lot of specific uses, and I can't think of any situation in which you would use it without claiming. I mean, Pilot already discussed testing claims and whatnot with a suivig, but I don't really see the usefulness of such a role without a suivig claiming in the first place!
As for a cop suivigging? Contrary to popular opinion here, I don't think that it'd be helpful to suivig until as much information as possible is obtained. Maybe after being outed it'd be of potential use, but the thing is, it's always best to wait until the last possible second anyways to out yourself as cop.
Also there's the whole wine about "shoot the cop, don't shoot the cop, it'll look bad if the cop claim isn't shot if we don't shoot him which is good for us" from a mafia mentality, which makes activating the suivig less optimal. I'm just not a fan of suivigging in any situation.
