Answer the question about text:

The first part of that Tim - coming - home story was actually written as an exercise of sorts . What I ' m about to tell you now was never really written , as it were , so forgive me if it 's a little less polished . Mike and I drove to the airport to pick Tim up , got pulled over for speeding and got out of the ticket because Mike is military police .

Why did Mike ultimately not get a speeding ticket ?
Mike has ties to police .
