Reading the article it sounds like the problem is the previous supreme court rulings on QI.

It requires that a court had previously ruled that the specific action was a violation of constitutional rights. It had not done that on this specific action previously, but did in this case.

So they get QI here because of a lack of a previous ruling, but if the someone were to do the same thing in the future, they would not be given the benefit of the doubt.



You're correct, but nothing you said changes my mind in thinking that the person you replied to is 100% correct and that QI ought to be different.


TY for that explanation.
