I had to run a red light today. It was one of those temporary ones they set up for road works, but the idiots set the timer way too long. I pulled up as other cars were coming the other way. Then the oncoming traffic's light went red as you could see the cars sitting there. Usually within 30 seconds the light changes. I waited 2 to 3 minutes and still no change so since there was nothing coming and I could see well I jumped the light.
Normally don't do this.
anyway in you case I'd fight it all the way. In fact the system you have for right turns on red is good. Wish we had the same in the UK but for left turns instead.
