The law allows the prediction and control of the occurrence of a phenomenon as long as we can to vary or prevent the occurrence of a particular condition for its existence.

A scientific law is a particular natural phenomenon that can be described with, usually, an equation or series of equations. Newton's Laws of Motion, for example, describe the mathematical relationship between a mass M, a force F, and the resultant movement of the object. They have nothing to do with an "absolute truth" or law in the sense of "criminal law". If someone 'broke' a scientific law, that law would be rewritten!
I should also note that a scientific THEORY will never become a LAW; on the contrary, if enough descriptive scientific laws are gathered together, they can sometimes be summarized by one or more scientific theories
