Antonia: a point of interest

Hello,

What does it mean in the sentence:

A:"He shouldn't talk about this kind of stuff with you." (reffering to a policeman who discussed the case he is working on with a civilian)

B: "He wasn't telling it as a point of interest."

Thank you for your help

Points of interest usually mean locations in a city where you might want to visit because they offer the visitor something interesting to see. } So I am guessing B is saying the conversation with the policeman wasn't just a small talk. It had some relevance to the case.

Thank you Danyoo, I understand your explanation. It had some relevance, indeed. Because A and B are sisters and the policeman was worried about A (his ex-wife and doctor working at the city morgue and working on the case as well) and I guess he expressed his worries for A to her sister B in that conversation.

p.s. sorry for this elaboration
