Yes, you do; this has been covered thoroughly (cites and precedents) on this forum more than once. I'm not going to repeat or provide links as I'm sure you can use the Search as well as I can.

Bottom line, it is an encumbered right. Most of the arguments address (or should) whether the encumbrances are constitutional and/or reasonable.
