The Tehran police has started implementing a new phase of the Social Security Plan from Saturday to deal with people who drive down the street looking for dates.

Iranian police launched a crackdown on irreverent social behavior, seizing cars whose drivers are deemed to be harassing women, the state IRNA news agency reported on Monday. "Tehran police have seized 20 foreign-made, high-end cars which harassed women in the north and northwest of the capital," IRNA said without explaining what amounted to harassment.
