>In California, it costs $5 to record a lien on the secretary of state’s website

Interesting article. But an easy fix. Raise the price to $100 or more. It is refundable if the lien is valid. If invalid, then maybe the person who filed the lien is punished some how.



I don’t think that would stop them.

The basic design is bad. You should have to serve formal legal notice before you can file. And aggressively enforce criminal penalties for fraud.


Doesn't matter if the goal is political. You can still end up with a hundred liens if a hundred people find it worthwhile to fraudulently claim.

I think you need a criminal record if you're found to be part of a liening brigade.
