Cops is right afaik. You need to touch the pavement before crossing the junction as the guy in the video did. Weird, I know.
Nope, more myth.
Regulation 10 of the TSRGD(2002) makes it an offence to disobey a red signal, bringing in Section 36 of the Road Traffic Act 1988:-
(1) Where a traffic sign, being a sign— ...stuff about size/colour/compliance removed... has been lawfully placed on or near a road, a person driving or **propelling a vehicle** who fails to comply with the indication given by the sign is guilty of an offence.
Being a pedestrian a la Crank vs Brooks isn't relevant. The offence for someone pushing a bike will be due to "propelling a vehicle" (which includes pushing one) over the stop line which the red light applies to.
As a pedestrian without a bicycle (or other vehicle) it's not an offence to walk over the stop line since you're not propelling a vehicle.
plod getting ideas above their station again. worthless.
