Breaking the law, has point! (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

awl

'point' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Sharp point' mean 'awl' so perhaps 'point' could also mean 'awl')

'breaking the law' is the wordplay.
'breaking' is an anagram indicator.
'law' is an anagram of 'AWL'.

'has' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for awl that I've seen before include "Hole-piercing tool" , "Hole-boring tool" , "Instrument for boring holes" , "Tool for hole making" , "Cobbler's tool" .)
