The idea of a thought police is completly absurd. How do you think somebody can actually know what your are thinking all the time 100% accurately. By observation? People do not have the ability to look into your mind. The book 1984 describes them as thought police. one can run and hide from the thought police but they will get you in due time. But for what? What they think that you think? Generally they come in the middle of the night and "vaporize" you. Wipe you away from records like you never existed. There is no trial and no report of arrest, just a disapperance. This idea is supposed to show how the government knows EVERYTHING but in my opinion that is impossible just by observation.
Interesting ideas - do you still feel this way - that it is impossible for the Party to truly monitor thoughts?
