I don’t think QI is insignificant. I suspect that policing practices became hostile first and QI is the legal loophole to get away with it. If you eliminate it the “system” will find another way to do it. “Active” policing is a lot of “cleaning up the neighborhood” and “maintaining property value”. As long is that is the part of the goal there will be away to protect police.
