A quick definition of scofflaw:

Term: SCOFFLAW

Definition: A scofflaw is someone who doesn't follow the rules and laws, and doesn't care about getting in trouble for it. They might do things like drive in the carpool lane when they're not supposed to, or break other laws that are hard to enforce. Some scofflaws even use mannequins to pretend they have another person in the car with them!

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A scofflaw is someone who shows disrespect for the law, especially by ignoring laws that are difficult to enforce.

For example, some scofflaws will use mannequins to make it look like they have a passenger in their car so they can use the carpool lane even when they are driving alone.

Another example of a scofflaw is someone who repeatedly parks in a no-parking zone, even after receiving multiple tickets.

These examples illustrate how scofflaws intentionally break the law and show a lack of respect for the rules that are in place to keep people safe and maintain order in society.
