Arc Restraint is one of Cole's powers. In order to use this ability, stand over an injured pedestrian or stunned enemy, then lock on to them. Simply press the Arc Restraint button, and Cole will send electrical energy into the ground around the target, forming into electric shackles around their hands and feet, trapping them in place until the Police can arrive to arrest them. This can save or kill an opponent.

Using Arc Restraint on downed enemies gains you a single experience point and some positive Karma for taking them alive, while using it on innocent civilians gains you negative Karma and no experience. Capturing a Conduit alive with this power gains you extra experience, and is referred to as a "Tough Collar".

Another way to gain negative Karma with this ability is to capture an enemy alive and then kill them while they are helpless to get an "Execution" bonus though this Evil Karma is negated by the good.

Due to the fact that the Karma you gain depends on which you use it, it can be considered the neutral touch-related ability.
