Why should the law care about what I do behind closed doors?

Why should the law care about what I do behind closed doors?

The law shouldn't care (if you are a law abiding citizen) about who you take into the bedroom as long as they are consenting adults. How many guns you own. What you eat for supper. What kind of TV shows you watch. Whether you watch porn or not.

The law doesn't care about what you do behind closed doors as long as it is within the bounds of what the law allows.

If evidence arises that you are doing these things behind closed doors, don't you think the government has a moral obligation to investigate?

How are max different from medical and minimum security prisons?

Your speech is free. But if it causes malicious harm to someone, you can be sued.

It shouldn't to a point.

But what if you're raping little girls behind closed doors? Killing gay men? Watching child porn?

When did bestiality first occur to you and how did it happen the first time? Was it a deliberate decision or it just happened and you allowed it?

Society sets laws announcing those actions that it deems unacceptable in polite society. If evidence appears that causes a reasonable person to suspect that illegal activity is going on, society should investigate. Of course society might find itself having to jump through hoops by adhering to constitutional law. It cannot just invade your personal space and demand to know what you're up to just because they don't like you.

Liberty is not boundless. It does have its limits.

You can stand on a public sidewalk and take pictures of my house. You can't walk into my house uninvited and start taking pictures.

Why do gun lovers think their right to own a weapon supercedes everyone else's right to be safe and not be shot?
