Roman Judge at the Trial of Jesus Christ. Ordered the execution of
Jesus but did so very reluctantly. Didn't believe
Jesus conspired against Rome or committed treasonous actions.
A "Pontius Pilate" would be a
person forced to do something they don't want to.
Cop #1: I can't believe I had to give a
man in a Santa Suit a
DUI.

2: Haha, you are such a Pontius Pilate
