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.

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.

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.

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

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

Liberty is not boundless. It does have its limits.

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

Was Michael Jackson really an innocent person?

It shouldn't to a point.

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.

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

What are the basic human needs according to psychology? What are the consequences of not meeting these needs?
