QI is extremely problematic like you've mentioned
1) You need specific case law to overcome QI
2) Little to no case law exists because of QI
Some of the QI cases are egergious like Corbitt vs. Vickers [1]
Allegation: Suspect wanders into yard where six children are playing. Coffee County, Ga. police order everyone to ground, press guns against the children’s backs. One officer shoots twice at nonthreatening dog. He misses but does hit a 10-year-old, who was lying face down an arm’s length from the officer. Excessive force? Eleventh Circuit (over a dissent): Qualified immunity. No prior cases telling officers not to unintentionally shoot innocent bystanders. (Nor does this decision establish such a precedent.) [2] (IJ has a clear agenda, but their description is pretty factual)
