I'd say that downloading and viewing paedophilic pictures is rather different to actually abusing a child. It would take a certain leap to jump from images on a screen to real life. Perhaps an "internet ban" (leaving aside any potential difficulties with enforcement) will prevent the individual concerned from developing a "taste" for children, and eventually finding that simply viewing is not enough.
Here in the good old UK, there is a CCTV network in the town centre. I've been in the control centre and had a good old play around with it!
Apart from being fun, it was pretty educational. They use some kind of system (I'm low on details) whereby the windows of residential properties are actually blacked out with these worrying black squares when you pan over them.
The black squares appear on the stored video and everything.
Obviously the tin foiled lunatics will still hatch conspiracies about the black squares being removable, but I don't think you have to worry about some security guy jacking off over your sister getting changed:>
