Do they have any different police powers in Iran specifically? What is the court/prosecution system involved? Do the accused get a defence representative?
Note: I am not looking for any personal opinions on the matter. Certainly not personal opinion on police or Middle Eastern cultures or religion. I believe I can form those opinions myself. I would like to have a thorough understanding on what is happening there and who is involved.

I’m living in Iran. Morality police is not different from police. It’s just one of its departments (like anti-narcotics department). So, there are some polices patrolling in the city and they will arrest you if you don’t fit in their imagination of morality/Sharia/etc.
They’ll take you to the police department, search your phone for other possible immorality things, they beat you, and then call your family to come and take you back home.
So this immoralities could be the form of your clothes, hanging out with a friend of different gender, etc.
Also, there are security cameras that will take pictures of the passengers of a car who are not complying with hijab rules. Then your car will be impounded.
And no, you can’t defend yourself in a court or something.
