surely they could compare the prints with the prints of the person and see that a mistake has been made.

obviously you are unaware that computers can not mess up. they are programs and only do what the programs tell it to do. the real problem is with HUMANS; human error. everything else in the world is true. you can't fake history. if your prints are so-called "switched" with these murderous villains, there would obviously be a way to prove that your prints were switched in the database. When they bring you in after being arrested they take your CURRENT prints and run them against the ones at the scene. So you're not going to go to jail based on any fingerprints...
