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

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

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.

It shouldn't to a point.

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

My girlfriend told me that she wants to move in with me. I have my own apartment and I like my peace and quiet, but I also love her. We've been together for a year now. What should I do?

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

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.

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.

Why are the people who don't support the LGBT community treated like super evil and cruel beings? People can have different opinions and thoughts on things.

Liberty is not boundless. It does have its limits.

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.

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

I was awaken between 2-3am by a voice that said “Hey”. Literally right next to my ear. Sounded like a males voice, but it wasn’t stern or deep. What could this mean?
