In George Orwell's book 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' the Thought Police , represented by Charrington , is a police organisation devoted to uncovering thoughts that are not in keeping with 'IngSoc' (ENGlish SOCialism) . The Thought Police could , and eventually would , arrest any citizen with any thought contrary to common practise regarding blind obedience to 'Big Brother' .
"The thought police would get him just the same. He had committed--would have committed, even if he had never set pen to paper--the essential crime that contained all others in itself. Thoughtcrime, they called it. Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever. You might Dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you."
- George Orwell, 1984, Book 1, Chapter 1
