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.

What I’m about to say may be outdated, based on a guy I worked with who got 90 lashes from drinking in Iran like 15ish years ago.
You get a sentencing, basically they decide your punishment if you have an argument/reason what they are doing is not shariah. You don’t always get to argue and it’s based on council.
You meet with a coucil, in my coworkers case a scholar (not an imam…. like a church elder but in Islam) and you don’t always get to argue. You have to say if you repent or not, praying can make things go smoother.
He also spent time in jail so that is part that can be longer or shorter if you cooperate, prolly gonna get the lash if you aren’t well connected.
From what I understand the morality police consult with religious guidelines and turn you over to the court/police. There seems to be some overlap of duties/facilities in some areas from what another dude told me.
The latter mentioned one wouldn’t say much more about it but he lived in a more rural part of the country. I think he mentioned a forested area, I can’t remember if he said the north-east or I’m thinking of where the other guy suggested to visit.
