The video above doesn't prove ASL encroachment by the taxi (just being in the ASL it is not an offence), it all depends on the approach so I'd need to see the footage from before the first lights are red to see whether the taxi could have safely avoided being in that ASL or not.
If it is possible for drivers to avoid going over a stop line at a junction without an ASL then why can't they avoid going into an ASL? I think we just assume sometimes that they can't help it because the junctions busy or whatever but surely you just treat the ASL itself as a stop line until you know you can make it out of a junction?

There's evidence there for both of you to have been fined. The taxi's RLJ at the end is blatant.
However you try and justify your RLJ in your head (slowed, careful, etc) you still RLJed, and sent in self-incriminating proof of your RLJ to the Police.
