They cant, but they can monitor what user agent you're using on the network(so if your tethering they can tell), but they don't do that unless you exceed 5 GB/month, even then, they probably wont

Theoretically they could charge you for all of the data you used while tethering. No one has had a problem as of yet.

However, it's people such as yourself that may ruin it for the rest of us. Keep your data usage down, and quit downloading copyrighted material.
