More details to this question:
In 2000 and 2003 I have a dui. In 2013 I was arrested for a dui, but the da and judge dismissed the case. The cop whom arrested me falsified records and it was dismissed. I should have never been arrested for the dui. The dmv is telling me I have to take alcohol classes, have interlock, and sr22. I have had all this for prior convictions, and now they want me to do it again due to the dui in 2013. I do not understand why I need this when my case was dismissed and how I can fight to get my license back.

The criminal case - which is what was dismissed - and the DMV/ driver's license issues are two different things, handled by two different authorities, and can come to two different decisions. If you did not request a hearing on the revocation of your driver's license, or if you requested a hearing and lost the hearing, then the dismissal of the case in court does not impact that. Therefore you must do what DMV is requiring in order to legally drive. A lawyer coudl analyze your drivintg record and the facts of your situatiopn to give more specific advise, if you made an appointmtne and sat down with a lawyer.
