This has been cleared up and explained in a number of threads. The problem here doesn't actually lie so much in the rules, but in how to enforce them. If you want to enforce the ASL boxes (or, rather, the associated stop lines), there has to be evidence that a driver crossed the first stop line while the light was red. As a result, you can never say to a driver whose vehicle is blatantly sitting in the box that they committed an offence unless a police officer has witnessed the driver committing the offence. I'm not sure, but I think this sort of offence can't be dealt with via CCTV yet in the way that banned turns and yellow boxes can, but I may be wrong.
