Don’t warrants have to name why ?

Like a warrant for CP can’t be used to collect evidence on another cases for say tax fraud.

Warrants do have to name why, and where. However, anything they find along the way is fair game. If they open your trunk to find drugs and see a dead body, then the dead body is still admissible. (Assuming that the opening the trunk for drugs is okay.)
