dodge the law

Explanation:
avoid the law, whether it be "legal" or not. It is a direct translation of "lách luật", so it can be used whether there is a loophole or not and whether one can be caught or not. It can be used when "bend the law" or "circumvent the law" can't be used, since "lách luật" can be caught: http://www.maivoo.com/The_thao/Chelsea-bi-cam-lach-luat/6254...
