There has to be some basis for people claiming that the laws of the land do not apply to them, but for the life of me, I can’t begin to understand it.

They usually look for a specific word or phrase that would justify them from being exempt from some sort of law, or twisting it so the laws for them are unconstitutional (in the US).
The most common example I know of is driving rules.. All states have laws saying drivers need a license and cars need to be registered, but they will look at the laws and claim “drivers” and “vehicles” only apply to commercial licenses, and since they aren’t being paid to drive around, they don’t need to do either of these things. That’s obviously false, and driver applies to anyone who operated a motor vehicle on the roads, but it doesn’t stop them.
