Can they have them in the common areas? Yes. Can they use them to look into the changing booth? No.

As to why you're being charged with priors: It may just be an error on the DA's part. If you truly have no prior convictions for a qualifying offense, then this should be corrected as the case progresses.

I assume you're talking about being charged with petty theft with a prior under Penal Code section 666. There are many qualifying priors besides petty theft. Are you 100% positive you don't have a prior theft-related offense conviction on your record?
