The sane thing to do would be to discount fingerprint evidence in any judicial (and other) proceeding.

It just doesn’t mean much when everyone has a copy of everyone else’s.

First, everyone does not have a copy of everyone else's, second it's pretty difficult to fake someone else's fingerprints. Honestly, a lot of tech people just do no seem to live in the real world. Please, take this on as a challenge and try to swap your fingerprints with those of a friend and see if you can fool a forensic technician. The experience will be well worth the small cost of hiring an expert for a few hours.
