A Modern Day Matthew Hopkins

Now being dragged in North East Essex, there lots of history, areas and talks on the Witchfinder General, Matthew Hopkins. Then after watch Rory's Bloody Histories about him it started me thinking at a Witchfinder General type of character, going around terrorising the population with his small army, dispensing justice, for VBCW. Now do you think that there is room for a character like him? With faction what you see him being a part of? Any views or ideas?
