I predicted this kind of thing earlier in the year. If I remember rightly I said that I believe that unlicensed motorbikes and recreational drug use are likely to be targeted.
I think you will be ok. These guys did so many things wrong that nobody could sweep it under the rug. As long as you have your papers in order and follow the law, as unfair as it is, you will be fine.

Actually my boss' husband works in the local police and he has not said anything about the six foreign teachers here.

Does anyone know about working in thailand?
