Question

What are those devices in Ghost in the Shell they use to arrest suspects? It seemingly causes them to be paralyzed from the neck down.

I think I saw in mentioned in the manga, but not the anime.

This is what characters refer to a [ghost key](http://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/18371/what-is-this-ghost-infiltration-key). You see it appears toward the end of chapter 3 in the original manga. — кяαzєя, Oct 15 '16 at 00:27

It is in chapter three of the manga:

Apparently in the manga, it renders them unconcious, but their bodies can still be moved, but in the anime, they become temporarily quadriplegic.

Similar device is in Innocence, although it appears to have a pistol grip interface, a la certain scene involving Batou in a convenience store. – NZKshatriya Nov 14 '16 at 01:37

Couldn't find a wiki entry or anything like that, but from what I've seen (and I've seen all of GITS a few times) it's a special device to paralyze people or any other thing that has this port.

I don't remember any explanation about how it works, it just does. Section 9 uses it often enough throughout the years to assume it's reliable.

_{An image of the neck port and a connection wire. Didn't find a paralyzing plug pic, so if somebody does, please edit it in.}
