Unless it's physically on you (dog tags, medic alert bracelet, etc) there are always scenarios where you won't know who the tags relate to. Lids with stickers could be borrowed. Tags on keys in the ignition, if you come across a rider and pillion in a single vehicle accident, how do you know who the rider was? I am a volunteer first responder for the ambulance service and in most incidents, managing the ABC's doesn't rely on knowing any allergy information/blood types/emergency contact information. We deal with the incident presented to us and act according the patients clinical need. Additional information such as ICE would usually only be put to use once the patient was stable and in/en route to hospital.
