What Amazon has the ability to do, What they have the right to do, and what they actually do do, are three different discussion topics. While they may have the ability to check if your ebooks have had the DRM removed, it's not in their best interest to do so. They're not the DRM police. They sell ereaders and ebooks. The minute they sell someone down the river for removing DRM, is the minute they pack up shop and call it quits... because their business is done for at that point. They don't want that, they want to sell you books.

Can they see if you have books that have had DRM removed? Probably.

Do they have the right to check? Probably, depending on how you interpret the TOS.

Will they check to see if you're removing DRM? No. Because they're not the ones requiring DRM in the first place.
