I think you mean flouting (ignoring or defying) the law.

Flaunting means to display or show off, like going to the beach in a bikini after working so hard to get in shape.

Wow, I've said flaunting (the law, rules, et c.) the whole time. Thanks!

Huh. Interesting. I have never heard anyone say "flouting", but I have heard "flaunting" hundreds or thousands of times. Seems the confusion has been common enough for long enough that it's correct now: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/flaunt

Similar to any word really.. if enough people use it a certain way, then that is the correct way by definition.

Well they kinda do that. "Look at what we can do, normal laws don't apply to us"

That’s flaunting their sense of impunity though, not flaunting the law itself which they didn’t draft.
