Clearly no laws against entrapment, eh?

What about probable cause?

Nasty guys, those Romans (I guessing they were Romans).

Well actually they were Jews, not Romans by birth but by conquest. And
yes they were nasty and had some very difficult civil laws to obey, and
not a whole lot of legal protection like we have today. And yet we are
told in Romans 12 to obey the authorities. The early church was also
told to obey as well, as nasty as they were! They even threw them to
the lions for sport! I can be glad for modern civil law. TnT
