If that consideration has not been tested in the courts then the police can continue to take that line; come to think of it, this may not be part of the new on-the-spot fines because there have been cameras on traffic lit junctions, to catch those who jump the lights (i.e. nothing to do with speeding) for quite a time.
Jumping the lights is undoubtedly a dangerous act, depending on when exactly it is perpetrated within the sequence of lights; it is no comparison with parking in the box, temporarily, while waiting for the lights to change.
