roman authority handled Jesus the same they handled any other crucified person. The situation was considered like any other uprising and handled accordingly, not a conspiracy to target him. This is supported by the fact that roman documentation of the crucifixion is blasé.
Jews had their own judiciary (e.g. Sanhedrin) the Jewish leadership sought Jesus’s crucifixion because they considered him a blasphemer for declaring himself as the Messiah equivalent with God, not keeping the laws of Moses, establishing a new covenant and keeping sinful company. The Romans had the Monopoly on violence because they ruled the area but the Jews managed their community. The Romans nailed Jesus to the cross but the Jewish leadership (specifically the Pharisees) put him there. I wouldn’t expect it to seem out of the ordinary for the Romans outside of Pontius Pilate.

Sounds like the Roman’s did it bc they couldn’t be bothered with the civil unrest from another of the many cults in the region.
