To some people it shows their devotion to god. Another reason is for women to declare their Islamic identity. While according to the Qur'an it tells women to dress modestly. Saying that a man should know a woman for her her mind and not her body. The New York Police Department did give some of these women the respect to a private room and a officer of the same gender. There was one case where a women veil had been removed at the scene of the arrest. Which was probably in front of many people. While another one was forced to remove hers and denied a female photographer. Some of the girls claimed that they felt exposed, violated and distraught by having a male photographer take her picture without her hijab for a matter of twenty minutes. She was also exposed to many male officers and prisoners were able to look at her. So many of these girls had went to court about this. But there were three girls in particular that were each paid $60,000 each. Later on the police department had issued additional policies regarding religious head wear in December 2017.
