-The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday limited the type of conduct that can be prosecuted under a federal computer fraud law, overturning a former Georgia police officer's conviction for misusing a government database to investigate whether a purported local stripper was an undercover cop.

Three of the court's conservative justices, Clarence Thomas, John Roberts and Samuel Alito, dissented from the ruling. The Justice Department argued that the law"aims directly at 'insider' conduct" like Van Buren's"forbidden use of his law enforcement credentials."
