“BODY CAM: YES.” The report behind “I’ll traumatize him for you” is five sentences, and it advises the man who called 911 to call the police. The chief’s letter lists the rest of what it left out.

Yesterday this site reported the LackLuster video. Today, the paper beneath it: the report, the letters, and the city’s own payroll file, read line against line.

Yesterday’s report covered what LackLuster’s sixth American Fork video shows. This site has since pulled the footage, transcribed it to the second, and read every document that appears on screen against the public records it already holds. The record beneath the video is shorter than the video, and it says more.

The five-sentence report

PRIMARY SOURCEThe narrative below is the officer’s own report, reproduced as shown on screen in the published video

The March 8, 2024 call at Gregory Hazard’s American Fork building involved a 911 call, multiple officers, three body cameras, and, by the video’s count, about eight minutes of conferral on muted microphones. Officer Zachary Goodale’s written narrative of it, in full:

Officer Goodale's five-sentence report narrative for case 24AF02000
The complete narrative, case 24AF02000, as shown on screen in the published video. The woman’s name is redacted by this site.

The report’s third line is “BODY CAM: YES.” The officer certified the cameras were rolling, and then wrote five sentences.

Four things sit outside those five sentences, and each one is on the department’s own record.

The caller. “I advised Gregory to call the police” is written about the man who had called the police. That is how the officers came to be there.

The complainant’s account. The report contains none of it. The woman’s conduct after twice refusing to leave, described by her on the footage itself: she pulled her car in front of the building’s entrance, knocked on the door, circled the building, and photographed it. The report renders the episode as parking in the shade to eat lunch, which is where it began, and where the report ends.

The video. Hazard offered his surveillance footage on scene: “I’m just a little concerned with the retort that I almost got cited when I have all the video surveillance.” None of it entered the report.

The threat to cite the caller. An officer told Hazard he “almost got cited for disorderly conduct… for causing an alarm.” The report notes only that the woman was released without charges.

And what the report’s author said that afternoon is not in it either. It reached paper only when the chief wrote it down himself, a year later:

“Well, if everything goes according to plan, I will… um… traumatize him for you, ok?”

Officer Zachary Goodale, to the woman the 911 call was about, March 8, 2024. Quoted verbatim in Chief Cameron Paul’s findings letter, complaint file COM-2025-010.

The letter grades the statement as disparagement of a community member, conduct unbecoming an officer of the department. It does not say what the plan was. The next entry in the city’s record of the two men is dated six weeks later.

The department graded its own report

PRIMARY SOURCEThe paragraph below is Chief Cameron Paul’s findings letter, reproduced as shown on screen

None of the four gaps above are this site’s inference. They are the department’s findings about itself:

Chief's letter finding the investigation not objective and complete
From Chief Cameron Paul’s findings letter on complaint file COM-2025-010, as shown on screen in the published video.

That paragraph is the department stating its own standard in writing: an investigation includes the complainant’s account and the available video. It is also the department confirming, in its own words, that a report can pass through its files without either.

The same file holds one near-citation and one found violation of state law. The near-citation, disorderly conduct, was floated at the man who called 911. The found violation, “Unlawful parking in an accessible parking space (Utah Code Annotated 41-1a-414(3)(a)),” was the officer’s, in the chief’s own letter, and no citation attached to it. The letter also answers the officer’s on-camera “Because I’m allowed to” in three words: “This is false.”

The city’s own calendar

CONFIRMEDEvery row below is anchored to a city record: the bodycam, the report, the letters, the council minutes, the payroll file, or this site’s prior reporting of the public record

Read down the middle column: conduct, award, exit, findings. Whatever month the complaint file opened, that is the order the city’s own record runs in.

What the second camera adds

PRIMARY SOURCEThe exchanges below are on the published April 19 bodycam, burned-in serial X60AA0270 REFUTED“Because I’m allowed to,” the officer’s stated basis for the parking, graded by the department’s own letter: “This is false.” ASSERTEDThe 2022 “main street” recording exists only as the officer’s own on-camera claim; no such recording has been released

The April 19 footage carries three exchanges the letters only summarize. Goodale, asked why his patrol vehicle sat in the marked accessible stall: “We can’t enforce parking on private property unless it’s a handicapped spot.” That is the officer naming the one category of parking the law does let him enforce, from inside it. Hazard then told him one of his own colleagues at the building uses a placard, and asked why he would take the place. The answer, in full:

“They’re not in on Friday.”

Officer Zachary Goodale, April 19, 2024, on the accessible stall and the colleague who uses a placard.

And on his history with the man questioning him: “I have dealt with you multiple times… one time on the main street… two years ago… I have it on video.” By the officer’s own account, there is a third recording, from 2022, that the public has not seen.

Hazard’s answer, on the same camera, April 19, 2024: “It’s something I’m bringing up with the mayor. I’ll be there at the city council meeting.” He said it twenty-six months before the June 9 meeting this site reported. The council appearance the city heard this summer was announced on the department’s own bodycam in the spring of 2024.

The ledger records the January

CORROBORATEDThe letter and the state payroll file are independent records with no shared author, and they agree on the month

The chief’s second letter closes the file this way:

Letter resolution: resigned January 2025, no corrective action or discipline
The companion letter’s resolution, as shown on screen in the published video.

The city’s payroll file, published by the state on Transparent Utah, records the same January without being asked:

American Fork City payroll · Goodale, Zachary P. · Transparent Utah

$74,543
Position compensation, FY2024
Full fiscal year, July to June
$43,583
Position compensation, FY2025
Roughly seven-twelfths of the prior year. July to January is seven months.
$3,757
Paid leave, FY2024
An ordinary year
$16,323
Paid leave, FY2025
The unused-leave cashout of an exit

Two records with no shared author, the letter and the ledger, agree on the month. The state’s payroll data, complete through the fiscal year ending June 2025, shows no other Utah public employer paying him. The findings letters, by their own terms, could produce nothing but themselves: documentation, in a drawer, of an officer who was already gone. They surfaced because the complainant kept his copies.

Ninety minutes of silence, one fleet, one vote

CONFIRMEDThe serial adjacency and the muted-span count come from the burned-in footage and this site’s published map of the city’s own releases ASSERTED“Categorically false” is Aaron Booker’s characterization of the report on his stop, stated at the August 11 hearing

The published footage authenticates itself against the city’s other releases. The camera on both Hazard dates, X60AA0270, sits twenty serial numbers from X60AA0290, a camera in the department’s own released footage hosted on this site, the same Axon Body 3 fleet line whose burned-in clocks this site has used before.

The silence is familiar too. Across the corpus the city has released, the map on this site marks 83 muted spans totaling more than ninety minutes. The new footage adds about eight more, by the video’s count, before the sentence the chief would later have to quote back in his own letter.

And the gap between report and footage is no longer one officer’s file. The same video’s first act replays Aaron Booker at the August 11 hearing on his own stop: a recorded apology, then a report “written days after the apology” that Booker told the council “contains statements that, based on video evidence, are categorically false and directly contradict his own admission and his apology.” The channel’s June 12 video put the same officer’s report against his own dashcam. The chief’s letter on Goodale states the class in the department’s own words: the account not gathered, the video not reviewed.

The two files do not share an officer. The officer in the 2024 file left the department in January 2025. The officer in the 2026 file first appears on the city’s payroll in the same fiscal year the other left it. The gap between the report and the footage survived the change in personnel.

The video carrying all of it passed 91,000 views its first evening and 156,000 a day later. The council votes on the property tax rate, the rate residents can still stop, on Tuesday, August 25.

The fair reading. Every damaging quote above comes from a department that investigated its own officer, wrote the findings down, and apologized in writing, and the chief held himself to the rule he cited: “I expect all our officers (including me) to uphold the law at all times.” Goodale’s side of the history is on the same footage: he says prior encounters with Hazard were confrontational, and he has it on video. The woman’s trespass status is contested in the footage itself. The council’s September 10, 2024 HERO Award to Goodale for pulling a teenager from a burning car is part of the same city record, in the calendar above. No court has ruled on any of this.
