I appreciate and respect your reply.....butYeah, it's not required in the state I live in (in the USA).
Are you asking why Spytec is cheaper? In the USA it is only a bit cheaper. I'm pretty certain I read that Spytec is an authorized seller of Viofo products. There's nothing shady about them as far as I can tell--they've been doing business on Amazon for a long time and they don't in anyway misrepresent their dashcams as anything other than Viofo products.
On Amazon UK the price is £53. for the Spytech camera.
On both Amazon and Ebay the A119 PRO is £75 +
I can't understand this price for a new high range camera, and as yet Viofo have not replied.
