Don't Pick Up the Phone.
It's just 3 episodes long. 2 police agencies track a guy that is making hoax phone calls to various fast food restaurants all over America. He convinces managers to strip search young employees. This caper is pulled off at least 70 times over the course of a decade.
They interview many of the people involved. There is often video evidence via close circuit TV links.
Supposedly intelligent adults get caught up in doing what some unknown stranger on the phone tells them to do. 1 incident went on for 2 1/2 hours. Often the charade ended when a different employee stepped up and ended the nonsense.
It's truly maddening to watch these idiots tell the interviewer the voice was very convincing. Often the victim complied since they didn't want to risk being arrested.
