i used to enrolled courses in community colleges but did not want to use the credit from those colleges. When i transferred from community college to university i hide these colleges and nothing happened. Does the aamcs really took a look that detail and investigate to make sure if you did report all your enrolled courses. anyone with that experience please advise me. Thanks guys.

You cannot hide any college courses you have taken. The National Student Clearinghouse has the record of every college course you've ever taken, and AMCAS uses that to verify. Omitting those courses from your AMCAS will result in your application being returned to you during the verification process and you will have to add those courses and resubmit.

. . . . which will significantly delay your verification time and ultimately, decrease your overall chances.

No, they cannot investigate without your consent, which you never provide. However, medical schools request for this release during a background check after offering an acceptance.
You have rights: AAMC cannot violate those rights and go past public information unless you give those rights to them. I only know one person who got accepted to NYU and did this: her school was taken over by the Taliban and subsequently destroyed. There was no record of her classes there to produce, so she thought it was easier to leave it off.
Now, if it's a US school, you're really out of luck: it's connected to you. You will get away with it just long enough for any medical school to rescind the offer.
