TL;DR Summary

Iranian police plan to use smart cameras in public places to identify and penalize women who violate the country's strict Islamic dress code. The number of women defying the compulsory dress code has increased since a wave of protests after the death in custody of Kurdish-Iranian Mahsa Amini. Police will send warning messages to violators of the hijab law and car owners will receive a warning text if any of their passengers violate the dress code. The requirement for women to wear the headscarf in public was enshrined in law shortly after the Islamic revolution of 1979.
