That is typically for our law system. Here we condem people stealing the proverbal "chocolate bar in the superstore", while the real crimes are not
punished. Also biblical, they crucified the creator of the universe instead of a mob gangster. So the best way to be not crucifgied, might be to conduct some real crimes, making sodomy or any other pleasures, like singing, dancing or so, well nude swimminh might be also good, will lead you surely to the cross, so be careful!
Oh, to the chocolate bar: The judical system (here in my state, called canton in switzerland) condemned a retired person for stealing a pack of
grated cheese (worth about 1 Dollar). Not for crucifixion, but well....
