The line comes from Postal, where the Postal Dude delivers throwaway one liners throughout the game in a deadpan violent style that became central to the series humour. I am the law is also a widely recognised catchphrase associated with Judge Dredd, which helps this short clip read instantly even to viewers who have never played Postal. Shared on soundboards as a standalone button, it spread as a quick authority punchline for gaming videos, streams and edits where a single smug declaration is funnier than an explanation.
