If you're taken to a hospital unconscious (and not from home), will they/can they look for ID, insurance cards, and AMD info in your belongings?

Asked by Jeruba (55829points) July 4th, 2022

Are emergency responders and/or ER admitting personnel expected, required, allowed to search your pockets or purse for personal information and proof of insurance?

How do emergency conditions meet privacy protections and personal property safeguards under these circumstances?
