The blatant disregard for the law is characteristic of a scofflaw. A person can only be called a scofflaw if he or she knowingly commits an offense or violation. It is also possible for a scofflaw to have little regard or no regard at all for the law, shown by the act of belittling or making fun of any law or anything that relates to a system of rules.
