As a general rule of thumb -- if the motion you describe is the same as we see many batters makes when there's not a runner stealing, then the motion is *probably* legal. After all, a "normal" swing or a close look at an outside pitch might result in part of the body being over the plate.
If the motion you describe is more than that, it' *probably* interference.
