Have you actually watched the video? He rides at below walking pace through a red light, after stopping, and then the video cuts off. It just looked to me like standard issue red-light creeping, getting going in the safe area before the lights change.

Likewise the "wrong side of bollard" thing, when you watch that it's nothing. It's not legal but it's not dangerous, or reckless, or stupid. It's just taking a sensible route round an obstacle.
