Maybe you see things differently. I would suggest that sitting on a box that is still normally a couple of meters behind the pedestrian crossing is not the same as going straight through a red light, either crossing the paths of other motorists or 2 lots of pedestrian crossings. Although as I mentioned, you may see it differently.
Having only seen a car blatantly go through a red light when either another lane of traffic was crossing it's part, or when the pedestrian crossing was showing a green man a few times, I would say the reaction to such an occurrence is normally quite rightly extreme. The first thing I would think is are they drunk, is it stolen etc. On a bike, people almost expect it.

So it's about how visible the traffic offence is? And somehow dependent on the layout of the road?
I don't know if I see it differently or not, as you're failing to explain how you see it - What's the difference between a cyclist crossing the stop line on a red light, or a driver crossing the stop line on a red light?

What's the difference then?
What's your current biggest hate (assuming we're keeping within the context of road users' behaviours) - We can only hope that it's drivers jumping red lights, speeding, driving carelessly, using mobiles and all those other things that actually endanger other road users.
