As my EMS Chief says the man with the Gun is in charge... when it comes right down to it, it is the polices job to enforce the laws. This said it is up to the police how to enforce the law so they are your patient and you can ask the police for things (generally they will be doing what they can to help you) but as far as whos scene theirs, whos patient the EMTs.

You can't unless they tell you who they are insured with. Who a person is insured with or even if they have insurance is a private matter between the insured and the insurance company. Now, if there is an accident and the police come to the scene they will collect that information and put it in the accident report. This is why it is crucial to always call the police to the scene of the accident no matter how much the other person begs to give them a break. Always, always!!! call the police to the scene of an accident. The exception is if the accident is on private property.
