Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles has released Britney Spears from their care even though she was admitted on a ‘5150 hold’.  Cedars could have held her up to 72 hours on the hold.

We’re told the “5150 hold” means that she can be held against her will for a max of 72 hours, but if the hospital determines she is no longer a danger, they can release her before that.

Additional sources now tell TMZ Cedars absolutely made the decision on its own — without consulting any of the lawyers in the case. We’re told it is Cedars policy (and the policy of other California hospitals) to evaluate whether the “danger” has subsided at any point during the 72-hour hold.

I find it hard to believe that hospital would truly believe the danger has subsided with her less than 48 hours after being admitted.

Everyone has known she was a time bomb waiting to explode and she did partially detonate on Thursday night.  Unless she gets proper mental help, her next explosion could be deadly.
