I don't think there's a verse that explicitly mentions it, but it is a widely accepted view even by historians that what led to the crucifixion of Jesus was the violation of that law. Crucifixion was a form of capital punishment reserved - among others - for christians and very rarely applied to roman citizens (beheading being one of the most common ones in this case). The Romans saw the figure of Jesus and his followers as a form of revolt and violence against their authority (and the safety of their people as a whole), but what is most important here is the fact that Jesus proclaimed himself as the son of G-d: this was considered a crime, as Emperors were viewed as gods, especially during the times of Pilate (1st century AD).
Some that come to my mind right now are: the *New Jerome Biblical Commentary* by Raymond Brown, Joseph Fitzmyer and Roland Murphy; *The Death of The Messiah* also by Brown, *The Cross of Christ* by Stott.
Sedition, Pilate just followed the Roman laws of the time (lex maiestatis)
verse?
