I think Veritaserum (or any potion that could make a user do the opposite of what they may want, really) should be monitored. With Veritaserum especially I think a good comparison could be made similar to those against the Patriot Act (however I'm still a bit too drunk to do that - something else get on that, please XD). There's just something extremely... squicky about the idea of someone finding out another's secrets without their knowledge that I think should be monitored and restricted and used only with full agreement of the person(s) involved. And really, I can't think of any reason is SHOULD be used outside of Ministry actions (which even then the Ministry is shown to be somewhat corrupt~ during certain actions), and should therefore definitely be monitored in the administering of Veritaserum.
