Bava Metzia 83 - Rabbinic Profiling with Tevi Troy

Today’s Talmud page, Bava Metzia 83, discusses one method of catching a thief: by profiling those drinking at taverns in the wee hours of the morning. Tevi Troy returns to the show to discuss the tension between law and order and caution regarding over-criminalization in presidential campaigns. Does the early bird catch a worm or a conviction?
