To be precise:
The grapples authorities use on other students from a standstill is an autobust (they reach in with one hand), regardless of trouble meter. Now if it was a running grapple, then it depends on the offense.
In the case of the player though, they're set to use a normal grapple (both hands), and it has the same effect as a running grapple in that it depends on your trouble meter whether you can escape or not.
