No
More specifically whilst they're believed to be unique this has never been fully tested and the number of loci used for generating a match doesn't scale to the number of fingerprints now being stored.
It was much easier when you only kept prints of the crims and were only matching against known baddies or direct suspects.
It's the same problem with "DNA matching" - the actual levels of match have been vastly exaggerated in courts and led to juries being misled. DNA and fingerprints are great for eliminating suspects but when it comes to generating matches you're in a different ballgame.

It's happened on a bunch of occasions

How would you feel?
