A detective in a ~150K pop. municipality told me that while they might dust for prints, they rarely use them in court because computer matches are very noisy and actually entering prints as evidence in court requires an expensive expert witness to evaluate and attest to a supposed match. The prosecutor can't afford the fees for every case, so a lot of fingerprint evidence goes unused.
Fingerprints are basically circumstantial evidence (unless it's a high profile case that spares no expense). And even though it's difficult to use them in court, it's perfectly fine to use it for probable cause on a warrant. You still need a latent print expert to attest to a judge that they match but it's much less involved than trying to use them in court.
