The caller that convinced fast food managers to hold young female employers hostage and make them strip. They claimed to be the police and that the girl had stolen something. Worked more than once.

Oh, I haven't seen this documentary, but I saw the dramatic movie they made about this story called Compliance. Ann Dowd, who was very annoying in The Leftovers, is very annoying in this movie as the manager, and the victim is played by a cutie named Dreama Walker. The only other thing I've seen her in was Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23.

This story is a creepy and fascinating look at how some people are compelled to be obedient to authority, and how readily some people will assume authority to be shitty to other people.
