I definitely think that there should be some sort of regulation when it comes to Veritaserum. The potion always gave off a bad vibe, probably because of Snape, when he told Harry that he might accidentally slip some into his pumpkin juice. But like Christa said, it would be so hard to keep track of. And as for who should be making it, ideally it would be people that would have a good use for it (I'm guessing some position in the law enforcement department?) but with apothecaries all over (I'm assuming that the one in Diagon Alley isn't the only one around), wouldn't anyone be able to make the potion? Unless the ingredients were rare (which we don't know) and you could control how much of a certain ingredient a person buys, but then wouldn't they be able to shop at different places to get the essential ingredients? All I'm picturing are a bunch of loopholes that people wizards would find to make the potion if it were heavily regulated.

When it should be used is a bit easier to answer I think. Serious cases, like murder and such, would be a good use for the potion, but minor things like, I don't know, vandalism, I wouldn't see it being necessary.
