Now, people living within the security cordon around Vance's rental Cotswold manor house, have claimed the stringent measures to protect the American politician saw cops ordering them to hand over the account names of their social media profiles.
Thames Valley Police insisted villagers living in the security buffer in Dean were only spoken to by officers to ensure they could pass through the blockade unhindered. The force vehemently denies people were asked about their social media accounts.
However, speaking to the Observer, one dog walker from hamlet said: 'We have had the police knocking on every door. They wanted the names of everybody living there and details of their social media. I know several people refused.
'We asked them if they were protecting us, or Vance. At least they were honest and said it is for him and that it will all be passed on to the American security people.'

There was cake and music. The weather was perfect. At first glance, it could have been a joyful community gathering in a sun-dappled Cotswolds village park, but the placards gave the game away.
These pulled no punches, criticising the policies and stances championed by the US vice-president, JD Vance, who is enjoying a country break down the road.
About 100 people, mostly women, turned up for the “not welcome” party organised by the Stop Trump Coalition on the park opposite the Co-op in Charlbury, north-west Oxfordshire.
Natasha Phillips, who had travelled 70 miles from Bath to attend the event billed as a “Dance against Vance”, bore a placard saying: “JD Vance – the guy who bullied a war hero from the comfort of his couch.”
