#2 News reports commonly report the Morality Police was founded in 2006. However, its history is much older. In 1936 the deposed Shah's father banned veils, and police would beat women who wore them. With the Islamist revolution, the Ayatollah Khomeini changed all that and officially declared that the Islamic dress code was now the law of the land. The Morality Police of 2006 is just the latest iteration of a traditional Islamic theology imposed nearly a half-century ago.
