You're no longer following Sharia law when you don't do the radical things it has in it, and a LOT of Sharia law is radical things. Need 2 women to equal 1 man in court, women can't drive cars, cutting off the right hand of a thief, killing someone for insulting Islam, Muhammad, a non-muslim marrying a muslim, ect. Once you don't do one of those things you're no longer following Sharia law.
Actually, any Muslim not living in the Caliphate is not following Sharia. Sharia also dictates that the Caliphate provide health care and a form of social security, etc. And when the Caliphate is formed, all Muslims must make their way to it, but if there is no Caliphate, then Sharia is not in effect.
So, just like the Mitzvot some adherents follow the parts that are applicable to their lives today. Even though in the case of Sharia if there is no Caliphate then the law shouldn't apply. In the end, no Muslim living outside of a Caliphate is technically following Sharia.
