“A scientific law is a statement based on repeated experimental observations that describes some aspects of the universe. A scientific law always applies under the same conditions, and implies that there is a causal relationship involving its elements.”

On the other hand, a theory tells you “why” the observations underlying the law occur. A law fails and is falsified if one observation is contrary to what is expected. A theory can be revised to account for variations in observations. Both law an theory are falsifiable.

You may claim to be [or actually are] a law-breaker all you want, but for these scientific laws, well not exactly. You see they are declared by science as laws because there has never even been one experiment or instance of there being shown to be broken.

No, not once, not even bent, just ‘nonce’, zero, get it?!
