"I'm not entirely sure about your full meaning here. Do think the public has any kind of right to 'dictate' your behavior? Under no cirumstances? Under any circumstances? If so, what are they."

I think that the only time the public has a right to dictate my behavior is when I pose a direct risk to society. If I am insane or criminal, then society should do something to limit my actions.

Conversely, I do not believe that society should be able to tell me that I have to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle, or that I must wear a seatbelt in my car.
