Quickhacks not available during some fights

[nc_01]

I noticed that during some specific fights quickhacking is not available.

Spoiler

It happened e.g. when the NCPD attacked me during "Fortunate Son", and I think when dealing with the Delamain taxi in Pacifica.

I could use the scanner to see information about enemies but the quickhacking menu did not show up.
I wonder whether it is like that on purpose or not. Generally I'm not complaining - it is OK that during a surprise attack I am forced to deal with the enemies in a specific way, and I had fun doing so. I'm just not sure if that is part of the game by design, a bug, or there is some logic and mechanics that I did not notice.
Does anyone have some explanation?

Yep Cops can't be Quick-Hacked (could said that ?)
Either they don't have cyberware, or they have too strong protection (black ICE), or it's just impossible (intentional).
In short, it's not a bug (unless I'm wrong and it's been a bug since day one).

You can test with Cops at the bottom of V's apartment, you can scan them, but not quick hack them.

Cops are immune to quick-hack attacks, although am of an opinion that at least the

should be able to disable their weapons. As for the other fights, guessing, "Because the plot demands it.", as it's sometimes pretty obvious.
