QI applies to civil cases. IIRC, Chauvin didn’t face a civil case and was not made to pay damages for violations of anybody’s rights. Nor did the other officers.
If a cop violates your rights, you just have to pray the DA will prosecute criminal charges. But you still won’t get an monetary damages from the cop. You might talk the state into settling.

Cynically this probably only happened in the Chauvin case because the state would have been burned to the ground otherwise.
Maybe folks need to get in the street more...
