Should you be forced to do something that you do not wish to is a very vague question. It comes down to what are you being asked to do and to society's norms. If the act uis in keeping with societal norms then yes if you wish to remain part of that society then there should be some form of censure to ensure that you act or continue to act in accordance with those norms.
There is a question of how far the censure should infringe upon the rights of the person but that very use of "rights" implies that there is a concomitant Duty upon the person.
As memebers of a society we all give up some parts of our rights to the duty of the society. Thus we accept that the government can force us to pay taxes, take driving tests, register gun ownership send our children to school etc. Now how far you are willing to accept the censure of the society in defence of your rights will vary from person to person. I would have no problem registering a firearm and sitting a driving test, you may be different. I approve of a degree of taxation but if the amount is raised to extreme levels then I might seek to avoid some of those taxes (avoid, not evade).
