Insurance company doesn't care what he was doing.
For most states the insurance company can't access the data without the car owners permission. Courts have ruled the owner of the car also owns control of the data. Police can access the data if there is a fatality with a subpoena.
Of course if the vehicle is in a body shop lot and someone has access to the vehicle and keys with the right equipment who is to stop them from plugging in and retrieving the data?
BTW there is a company the sells OBD locking covers for diag port to prevent unwanted tampering.
It can be obtained by suboena in other instances as well if there is a compelling reason to do so. It's rare that it's needed at all. The vehicle owner owns everything in the car...insurers can't access the black box, can't pull a fluid sample from any of the vehicle systems, etc...without the owner's permission. Lacking that, they can try a subpoena.
