They often have a very poor understanding of the law, they think lawyers are basically wizards and if they too say the right magic words ("the flag in this court has a gold fringe which means it's an admiralty court and you don't have jurisdiction") then they won't have to pay their traffic fine or taxes or whatever it is that they don't want to pay for
There is some truth in their belief that "the Law" is a lot more flexible than the rest of us realize.
Look at the kid gloves the courts have used with Trump's cronies and other right-wing kooks. Alex Jones is a great example; owes over a billion dollars in restitution and hasn't paid one cent. The court's response has been "lol, blood from a turnip ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ".
The law is pretty much a sham.
That's not magic though, that's money.
