Indiana bangs violate the law (8)

I believe the answer is:

infringe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'violate the law' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'indiana bangs' is the wordplay.
'indiana' becomes 'IN' (abbreviation).
'bangs' becomes 'fringe' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in'+'fringe'='INFRINGE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for infringe that I've seen before include "Encroach on (a right)" , "Contravene" , "Encroach, impinge" , "Break the rules" , "Cross boundary" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
